Students will undertake a variety of scientific investigations to develop an understanding of the abiotic and biotic features of a local ecosystem. Furthermore, they will use observation to describe energy and material flow in this system.
These investigations will assist them to understand the health of the local ecosystems and both cultural and current management strategies employed to conserve this important ecosystem.
This study can be applied to Box-Gum Grassy Woodland ecosystem at Riverina EEC, River Red Gum ecosystems along the Murray-Darling basin or any local ecosystem of your choice.
Fieldwork can include:
- abiotic and biotic components of an ecosystem
- energy flows through ecosystems
- conservation and management of sustainable ecosystems
