Kite Diagrams Maker

Kite charts can be created online with our Kite Diagrams Maker to show changes in distribution and frequency for any data entities along a transect. The frequency is shown by shaded areas, sized by quantity, to help identify the relationships between different observations. Enter the number of different entities and sampling points, followed by the raw data values. Options include colour customisation and data entity labelling. An image of the kites made can be downloaded.

Sand Dune Investigations

These investigations cover the abiotic variables and distribution and abundance of plant species from the pioneer zone to climax community. The impact of human activity can also be studied, together with the variations in biodiversity between managed and unmanaged dunes, and the effectiveness of dune management schemes. Contrasts may be drawn with the protected sand dunes at the nearby Llobregat Delta Nature Reserve.
