James Cook University's Susan Laurance checks data gathering equipment that measures how much moisture the trees take in. Dr. Susan Laurance leads the Daintree Drought Experiment in far north Queensland. The experiement combines the efforts of plant physiologists, ecologists, soil experts, climatologists and hydrologists to assess the varying responses of plants to drought, from their roots to their highest pinnacles in the forest. Others study how smaller animals such as insects respond to drought. This experiement is based at the Daintree Rainforest Observatory, a research station operated by James Cook University.
