Question 27

River Corridor Environmental Quality Assessment

During a physical geography fieldwork investigation, a student group assesses the ecological health of a river channel at various sampling sites. At each site, they record their observations using the bipolar assessment scale shown below.

Parameter-3-2-10+1+2+3Parameter
High channelisation / artificial banks✓Natural, highly meandering channel
Extreme water turbidity / suspended sediment✓Crystal clear water / low turbidity
Depleted riparian vegetation / concrete margins✓Dense riparian woodland buffer zone
Heavy plastic pollution and surface debris✓No visible litter or pollution debris

Using the data from this completed field sheet, state one appropriate data presentation technique that the students could use to display this bipolar environmental quality dataset.
