Geography NEA

Hiya! I'm an A level geography student doing their NEA at the moment. My teacher has given me some ideas on an investigation and as I am a biology student too, I'm thinking of looking into biodiversity in different areas of where I'm studying, however, I have 0 clue how I'm meant to actually collect any data for this whatsoever. Any advice is greatly appreciated :smile:

Just sort of giving some advice, if your geography spec doesnt talk about biodiversity I wouldnt recommend choosing it. If you're doing ecosystems under stress you're fine and ignore this but if you pick something inside of your spec teachers can offer a bit more guidance about your plan and methods.

I’m also currently doing NEA and I would recommend doing vegetation sand dune succession as you can do Quadrats and assess the biodiversity of the dunes and link it to the geography it’s a mix of both geography and biology. I also found that this topic is soooo easy to research! Literally found a website telling me what data I should collect how to collect it. And my teacher said that by past experiences, ppl that did sand dune succession tends to get the most marks
