During A Level Biology, you will be required to perform a range of practical experiments that will reinforce what you learn in the classroom and develop your laboratory skills. This video is part of a range of resources that use the expertise of University of Birmingham researchers to help you understand some of the most common A Level practical experiments, for a full range of resources, see: http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/undergraduate/preparing-for-university/index.aspx In this video, we travel to the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) to see how sampling species diversity and distribution can be done on a massive scale, and discover that some of the techniques we learn at A Level are still very relevant to cutting-edge climate change research. You can also hear us go into more detail about this experiment with the Laboratory Confessions podcast here: https://soundcloud.com/user-214740866/laboratory-confessions-species-distribution
