Lineage

Heathland suitability Areas were defined with reference to Cranfield University Soils Data, which informed the identification of broad areas where the soil category types would typically support heathland, as well as the Historic Heathland Extent layer. For a full description of the methodology see the following report: Midlands Heathland Heartland Lowland: Heathland Nature Recovery Opportunity Mapping.
