umm, The teacher let u choose one.
(I never got that choice, its not fair ):argue:

But back to the topic, I'd choose a case study that is in your textbook, that way most of the info u need will be in the textbook. I did intertidal wetlands and coastal dunes (which were both in my textbook). But if the teacher has given u a choice, then I'd pick an ecosystem that is both interesting and has easily accessible info (both on the web and in ur textbook)

But remember u need to choose an ecosystem that is AT RISK..
So maybe intertidal wetlands, alpine areas or any of the others the syllabus suggests.

But good luck for Yr12 and enjoy HSC Geography... :)

yeah I'd recommend Intertidal Wetlands or Coastal Dunes. I did these last year and there is so much good info on them in textbooks.

choose ecosystem which you know the best or which is most interesting for you. and choose ecosystem which is in your text book or you have good information on it. and good luck

You must have the "A Geography of Global Interactions 2" textbook by Grant Kleeman?
A decent textbook but I've heard theres a better one out there called "Macquarie HSC Geography" I think?

its the best book ever for geography, year 11s buy this book, it does not have any irrelevant information like in "glodal interactions".

Sounds like a large class...

We went on the Sydney tour of Pyrmont for urban consolidation and another of a large hotel for the economic activity...
