Brief description

Elevation (altitude), aspect and slope of 33 one-hectare plots in Karawatha Forest Park. The plots are at 500 m intervals in a grid that covers the entire Park. Each plot follows the elevational contour and is 250 m long x 40 m wide. Measurements were taken during 2007.

Full description

Measurement of altitude, slope and aspect Altitude, slope, aspect were measured within each plot. 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.
