Distribution of the major grass species on the Project site

The kite diagrams below are a visual representation of the distribution of Yorkshire Fog (Holcus lanatus) and Agrostis spp. across the different sections of the project site (1-9).

The distribution patterns shown are derived from mean % cover data from the belt transect surveys.  The scale is shown below diagram A.

Each row represents the change in distribution of the named species with time (1996-1998).
