Oak Scrub Commnity - Rookery Bay

(This photo is a 360-degree IPIX interactive image, which allows you to navigate with your mouse: up, down, right and left, in order to see the entire surrounding landscape.)

Navigate around this 360° view of an oak scrub community behind The Briggs Nature Center. Many oak species occur within this dry oak scrub community. The understory is predominantly saw palmetto and other plants adapted to low availability of water.

When the photo is first loaded you are looking down a slightly curved section of an elevated wooden boardwalk, bordered by a thick, green understory.

Navigating to the right, pine trees and other vegetation grow beyond the boardwalk. Continuing to the right, you see a straight section of the boardwalk bordered by pine trees and saw palmettos growing in sandy soils.

As you continue the 360-degree turn to the image’s starting point, a green understory predominates.

Navigating up with your mouse, you can see a cloud-covered sky. Navigating down, you see the South Florida Information Access (SOFIA) web site logo, which is linked to the SOFIA main page (http://sofia.usgs.gov).
