Soils in the Welsh Landscape – a field guide

Description

Soils in the Welsh Landscape  is a field based approach to the study of soil in the landscapes of North Wales, by our soils expert, Dr. John Conway.  Designed to meet the curriculum requirements  in subjects that refer to soils in the National Curriculum it provides an introduction to soil science, an explanation of soil classification and – perhaps most usefully – a unique feature is a set of sites where soils can be seen without digging pits.  It is useful for teachers and students of geography, science, earth science and geology at both GCSE and A level. It also presents soils within the landscape, linking soil types to geology, topography, drainage and land-use.  There are some examples on our website

Lavishly illustrated in full colour with photographs the author,  31 pages, bilingual Welsh/English
