Soils

A soil key can show you the type of soil your site lies on. Knowing the type of soil you have is really important in understanding the plant community response to change and the movement of water across the site. This knowledge can help you decide the best management option for you.

More information on soils can be found through Natural England’s Technical Information Notes (TIN’s)
