Q

HW - data collection method of quantitative data and its effectiveness

A

tallies of number of species in each forest layer
allowed us to calculate the Simpsons biodiversity index and so we could draw graphs and conclusions on how biodiversity differed

Q

HW - data collection method of quanlitative data and its effectiveness

A

photos, sketches
- gave a visual reminder of the area
- could also use photos to compare to old photos and conclude whether management strategies were working

Q

HW - example of a management strategy, is it effective (+ however..) + evidence

A

cutting down conifer plantation to allow native species to grow
- strategy is working well <– high biodiversity in canopy layer (8.6) also 11 species of native trees
- however more trees means lower biodiversity in shrub layer (2.8)

Q

HW - What had taken place in site 1 to allow high biodiversity

A

**secondary succession - ** when animals and plants recolonise an area that experienced a disturbance
allows more native species to grow

Q

HW - why was it lower biodiversity in site 2

A

due to the pine needles which fall from the trees and don’t decompose, minimising the nutrient cycle
also the tall trees reduce sunlight available to the lower layers

Q

HW - management strategy to improve nutrient cycle in site 2

A

logs and twigs are left to rot so nutrients cycle can successfully take place

Q

HW - why were some conifer trees left to stand

A

to act as a windbreak in order to protect the rest of the woodland

16
Q

HW - why is the conclusion strong

A

includes a range of qualitative and quantitative data
e.g. Simpsons index value shows affect of strategys in different areas
photos can compare how well they’ve worked or had an effect over a period of time

17
Q

HW - why did we sample 6 different locations across 1 site

A

to gather a larger volume of data and caluculate a mean/average to give a more reliable representation of biodiversity

18
Q

HW - what improvements could have been made if we were to repeat the investigation

A
  • use a tape measure to accurately measure 20x20m
  • study plant species better to identify more accurately
  • take more samples from different areas to gather a wider range of data
19
Q

B - enquiry question

A

how has regeneration of Bristol harbourside affected opportunities for recreation and entertainment

20
Q

B - why was the harbour side a suitable location for our investigation

A
  • in the past it was a popular trading location and was very industrial
  • there’s been lots of regeneration making it informative for our hypothesis
21
Q

B - two potential risks and how they were managed

A
  1. rainy weather meant risk of slipping over and injuring ourselves - we wore suitable footwear
  2. disturbing locals - we stayed in our groups and didn’t interact with other people outside school
22
Q

B - data collection method for quantitative data and what it showed

A
  • cleanliness index - helped to see if regeneration had helped to improve sanitation and cleanliness of the locations
23
Q

B - data collection method for qualitative data and what did it show

A

notes from the locations - helped create an overall impression and reminder of each area

24
Q

B - sampling method and what did it show

A

bipolar survey - showed the accessibility of the different areas

25
Q

B - data presentation methods

A
  • annotated photographs
  • radar graph (bipolar survey)
  • land use mapping (coded into catagories)
  • bar chart (cleanliness scores)
  • word cloud (stimulus task)
26
Q

B - what did data show about Cannons marsh

A
  • lots of opportunities for recreation and entertainment
  • “We The Curious” - a museum
  • escape rooms, casino, stores, gyms
  • very accessible
  • many artistic features + art work
27
Q

B - what did data show about Castle Park / Finzels reach

A
  • urban regeneration has created opportunities for recreation and entertainment
    finzels reach:
  • range of bars and restaurants
  • however lots of offices and apartments
  • Castle Park
  • large green spaces with walkways and cycle paths
  • very accessible for everyone
  • newly adapted S-shaped pedestrian bridge
28
Q

what did data show about Queens square

A
  • used to be a dual carriage way but has been converted into a large park
  • has a grand statue and lots of paths and benches
  • area is surrounded by resident homes and private businesses
  • meaning opportunities for recreation and entertianment are limited
  • however , nearby is Arnofili art gallery which attracts lots of visitors every year and displays both local and international peices of art
29
Q

B - what did data show about Wapping Wharf

A
  • provides many opportunities for recreation and entertainment
  • its just on the harbour side <– boat trips available for tourists (popular attraction)
  • lots of restaurants and shops creating opportunities
30
Q

B - what area provides least opportunities for recreation and entertainment

A

queens park

31
Q

B - pros and cons of Word cloud

A

pros
- easy to complete and analyse
- gives vague overall image
- shows peoples thoughts
cons
- subjective (many contradicting opinions)
- depends on conditions
- no further detail

32
Q

B - pros and cons of Land use mapping

A

pros
- clear representation of opportunities in different areas
- easy to interpret
cons
- doesn’t show quality of recreation
- doesn’t show past or future
- only focuses on smaller areas

33
Q

B - pros and cons of annotaed photographs

A

pros
- visual reminder of area
- annotations add explanation
- can compare to older photos to show change
cons
- photos only of specific areas
- could have aspect of bias on where they’re taken
- depends on conditions

34
Q

B - pros and cons of Bar graph

A

pros
- easy to interpret
- clear method to show cleanliness at each location
cons
- doesn’t provide as much information

35
Q

B - pros and cons of Radar graph

A

pros
- easy to compare each area
- easy to make and interpret
- can be linked to hypothesis
cons
- could be difficult if there is too many overlapping lines
