Summary
| Description |
English:
Breckland Heath/Grassland Ecosystem This area is a rare example of a Southern England semi-natural heath habitat, preserved because MOD training in the area limited agriculture, which would have destroyed this rare habitat type.
The Breckland has a semi-continental climate (this region is one of the driest in Britain), so shares many plant species in common with mainlan Europe. Species distribution is governed by management and soil type; alternating chalk and acidic sandy soils over a short distance causes alternating zonation of grassland and heather strips.
