To identify key soil characteristics at different height levels on the fell. Texture, depth O.M. content, and pH
To identify changing flora (species) and population dynamics associated with changing soil types
To consider the impact of past, present and future land management on the nature of soils and plants on the fell.
To consider the wider nature of the local landscape in association with geology, land use, climate and topography
