| Slowly permeable wet very acid upland soils with a peaty surface (19) |
| « 18 |  |
20 » |
| Texture: | Peaty or humose loamy |
| Drainage: | Impeded drainage |
| Fertility: | Low |
| Land Cover: | Moorland rough grazing and forestry |
| Habitats: | Grass moor and some heather with flush and bog communities in wetter parts |
| Topsoil Carbon: | High |
| Mostly Drains To: | Stream network |
| Water Protection Issues: | Gripping or over grazing, particularly in winter, can lead to accelerated run-off and erosion. Out-wintering and stock feeding practices need care if loss of vegetation and erosion are not to result |
| General Cropping Guidance: | Some soils are capable of improvement to grassland but most only support rough grazing of low or moderate grazing value. Grazing or trafficking during wet ground conditions should be avoided to prevent damage to soil structure |
