Biology Coursework A2.... Ainsdale Dune Ecology Field Work (Skill A): Planning: Will the population and community of plants increase upon progressing inland from the beach? Hypothesis: As the distance from the beach increases the conditions become less harsh. There is less wind; the salt content in the water decreases and the soil contains more humus. Due to these changing factors the living conditions become more bearable. Hence I can predict: "Upon moving away from the beach a greater population will be found and also the community will generally become greater." Null-Hypothesis: "Upon moving inland from the beach the number of species of plants will not increase, due to the increased farming of the land" When We Get To Ainsdale... We are going to take several readings and make several observations to determine whether or not our hypothesis is correct. We have decided to take soil samples so that we can perform several experiments on them backing...
