The Connell Rainforest Plot Network is a member of Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN), Australia (http://www.ltern.org.au), a facility of the Australian Government's Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), (http://www.tern.org.au).
The long-term forest dynamics plot at O'Reilly's is located in the subtropical rainforest near O’Reilly’s Guest House in Lamington National Park, 65 km south of Brisbane. It consists of two 1-ha plots spaced approximately 600 m apart, but for analyses they have always been treated as a single unit. This plot has never been logged, but some selective logging has occurred just outside the plot boundary.
Temporal visits occur between 1 to 6 years.
