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.
