Habitat Structure in Karawatha Forest Park, South East Queensland Peri-Urban SuperSite, Karawatha, 2007-2008

Canopy cover and ground cover estimates for 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. Canopy cover was measured using photographs taken at 50 m intervals along the 250 m mid-line of the plot. Ground cover was measured using the point-intercept method at 2 m intervals along the mid-line. Surveys were completed during the period October 2007 to February 2008.
