Study sites

First look at the study sites

 The fieldwork is conducted at two sites at Sugarloaf Hill. The sites are named "North Junction" and "Southside Bend". At each site we compare a range of biotic and abiotic factors. 

Click and drag on the 360 degree images below to examine the two study sites.

• What are your first impressions? 
• Can you identify any differences and similarities?

Study site 1 - Southside Bend. Located on the south side of Sugarloaf Hill. It has a thick, diverse layer of ground cover plants and shrubs. The walking track is 1.5m wide at this point.

Study site 2 - North Junction. Located on the north side of Sugarloaf Hill. It has a much thinner layer of ground cover plants. The walking track is 2-3m wide at this site due to erosion.

Now use menu to explore the location, climate, features and interactions of the two study sites.
