Question 114

Sand Dune Succession Fieldwork Data

Students conducted physical geography fieldwork to investigate ecological succession and soil development across a sand dune system from the strandline inland. Below is a summary of the data they collected at 10-metre intervals.

Distance from Strandline (m)Percentage Vegetation Cover (%)Soil pH
0 (Strandline)08.2
10 (Embryo Dune)158.0
20 (Yellow Dune)557.4
30 (Grey Dune)906.5

Identify two further pieces of primary physical data that the students could collect at these sites to investigate sand dune succession and soil development.
