Purpose
Data not provided. 
Lineage
Elevation (altitude), slope, aspect were measured within each of the 33 plots in the Karawatha Peri-Urban site in 2007. Altitude/elevation was measured from the topographic maps of Karawatha viewed in ESRI, Arc GIS software, which had elevation data incorporated into the attribute data in the shapefiles. Aspect was measured by taking a compass bearing and slope was measured with clinometers perpendicular to the elevation contour within each plot midline. These measurements were made every 50m, totalling 6 measurements per plot. 
Method DocumentationData not provided.
Procedure StepsData not provided.
The Karawatha site is on the southern peri-urban edge of Brisbane. It contains a variety of habitats from freshwater lagoons and sandstone ridges, to dry eucalypt forests and wet heath.
