Ecological Survey Of Succession Aims: 1. To record changes in species composition from a grassland to a woodland. 2. To record changes in height of the ground at metre intervals. Variables: Dependent Variable - The number of different plant species, I will measure this by placing a 0.5 x 0.5m quadrat on the ground. Independent Variable - Holy Cross field to Duxbury woods. Fixed - Quadrat area Distance between quadrats Prediction: I predict that in the field there will be less variation and more dominant species due to interference by man. In the wood there will be more variation and less dominant species, therefore, the rate of succession in the wood will be more obvious than on the field because of less human interference. Apparatus: * 0.5 x 0.5m quadrat frame * 2 canes * 1m rule * Spirit level * Tape measure * Light string * Toilet roll tubes * Identification keys Method: I will find a area of the field which leads into the wood then I...
