Field Work
To assist in the completion of AoS 1 Outcome 1, students will conduct a habitat survey to identify the impacts caused by such factors as different forms of erosion, drought and those caused by introduced plants and animals. They will examine soil types, conduct water tests, look at canopy densities, identify the characteristics of certain plant species and examine evidence of pest animals. Students will also learn about the region‘s various habitat types and make links between historical land use and natural processes such as; climate, location, volcanic activity, and fault lines.
