1. Aim: How and why does vegetation change across a psammosere at Llobregat delta, Barcelona? Data Analysis, Conclusions & Evaluation Discuss data presentation techniques are included in revision guide / click to discuss further & likely exam questions & diff of command words e.g. desc & outline

2. Theoretical background Discuss specific trends & click to reveal

3. Theoretical background Expectations: High wind and high pH values to develop the embryo dune. Grasses such as lyme grass and sea couch grass then appear. A humus layer builds up which traps both water and nutrients. Marram grass is the most common species. Vegetation reaches 100%. Sand sedge and sea spurge start to dominate and small shrubs appear for the first time. Shelter from winds and a true soil begins to develop. Dune slacks. Climatic climax vegetation is reached at the mature dune. Develops a soil which can support shrubs and trees.

4. Debrief from their sheets and show / see end of teacher pack

5. How do our results compare to ‘textbook’ theory? Task: In groups, identify the trends and anomalies from our results when compared with textbook theory. Add these as labels onto the A2 sheet. Annotate each label to suggest reasons for these trends & anomalies. Be prepared to present your findings to the rest of the class. Groups – identify trends & anomalies get ws – allow 20 mins & feedback

24. Analysing correlations: How to test the statistical relationship between variables Spearman’s Rank Correlation Co-Efficient Vegetation density v Distance inland along a psammosere

25. Spearman’s Rank Correlation The scatter graph shows the possibility of a positive correlation between the two variables and the Spearman's rank correlation technique should be used to see if there is indeed a correlation, and to test the strength of the relationship.
