This key question looked at the ecosystem found in Coombe Abbey. In order to find about them I decided to draw a field sketch of each ecosystem, these are Meadow, Coniferous Forest and lake on a spate piece of paper.
Picture of the three ecosystems that I found at Coombe Abbey:

Key Question 2: what is the impact of human activity having on the urban-rural fringe?
This key question looked specifically at the impact that human activity has on the urban-rural fringe. In order to see the impact that humans have had on the environment, I decided to conduct a recording table for footpath erosion
My Recording table Location A: 7m from the visitor centre
Location B: 7m from the woodland
Location C: 7 from the toilet
I choose this method because this tells me that how many people walk on the footpath erosion and after the people went pass the footpath we measure that how deep is from the start to the end and I have put this tables into graphs on a separate piece of paper. Navdeep Singh

Key Question 3: how is the impact of human activity managed?
This key question looked specifically at the impact that human activity has on the urban-rural fringe. In order to see the impact that humans have had on the environment, where I have listed some of the problems and area affected.
The problems in coombe abbey is that, there is too much litter for example there is too much litter in the lake , the trees are falling down people throwing litter on the lake . To solve this problem the people working on coombe abbey should put bins in to areas like lake and coniferous forest.
I have taken some pictures of the lake in coombe abbey where you can see litter everywhere:

Data Interpretation/ Conclusion
Key Question 1: What are the ecosystems found at Coombe Abbey?
There are three ecosystems that are found in Coombe Abbey this ecosystems are Flora, Fauna and the non-living environment
Fauna: a group of animals that live in a particular region
Flora: a group of plants that live in a particular region
Non-living Environment: sun, air, water, soil and parent rock are all non-living things.
Fauna which are the animals usually found at Coombe Abbey because Coombe Abbey is a safer place for the animals to live you will find most of the animals near the lake like ducks because they need water and they like living there because the people living there are friendly to them.
Flora a group of plants also found in Coombe Abbey because the person in Coombe Abbey takes care of them, they always give water to the plants so the plants can grow and the weather in Coombe Abbey is nice.
The non-living things are also found in Coombe Abbey because of the fauna and the flora for example fauna which are the animals; they need sun, water, soil etc... To live and flora also needs sun, water, soil etc...
Ecosystem is which includes all of the living organisms These systems are the plants and animals interacting with their non-living environments (weather, Earth, Sun, soil, atmosphere).

Key Question 2: what impact does human activity have on the urban-rural fringe?
I have also done the environmental survey and the visitor account.
By looking at my visitor count map, I can see that the visitors centre and lake has the highest number of visitors: there are 36 visitors in the lake and 36 in visitor centre. My reasons for their high number are because in the visitor centre there are shops cafe` and info centre and in lake there is the 1st ecosystem, people feed the ducks, there are branches and nice view this is because in visitor centre there will be people buying gifts, they might want to visit the cafe` and the info centre to read the information before going to the coombe abbey. There is also more number of people in lake because there is nice view, they want to feed the ducks and it is the 1st ecosystem in coombe abbey.

KEY:
Lake=
Car park=
Play area=
Visitor centre=
Forest=
By looking at this table this shows the there are more high quality in play area because it is attractive and it is special o more people will go there.
People visit least in the car park because it is not special not interesting at it is not tidy enough.

Summary Conclusion:
My hypothesis is “Coombe Abbey is a rural environment and does not management “because careful management is needed to ensure that that coombe abbey is fully protected for example taking care of the animals, elders and the environment so I think that they does not to manage Coombe Abbey Country Park.
Evaluation Page:
So, overall I think my result was correct, accurate and good. I could also improve my project by adding some more details and get more information at Coombe Abbey to ensure that I can answer my overall questions with a lot more details.
