I. SITE DESCRIPTORS

  1. Latitude/Longitude of data collection site:
      MYSTERY SITE! You locate! degrees latitude
      MYSTERY SITE! You locate! degrees longitude
  2. Time zone:
  3. Biome Description: mountain

      This site is on a hill/mountain in a National Park and therefore is somewhat protected. The weather was overcast and foggy on the day of the data collection. The landscape changes from limestone hills in the south to high marshland in the north. Soil has high % of decaying vegetation.
