characteristics

nutrient cycle

in the autumn the leaves fall from the trees and decompose, giving the soil its nutrients

earth worms in the soil help to mix the nutrients and blend the layers within the soil

the tree roots are deep so help to break up the rock below. this helps to give the soil more nutrients

the trees take up nutrients in the soil as they grow in summer. However, more nutrients are put back into the soil in autumn

Many of the trees are hundreds of years old and support many insects and fungi. the soil beneath the forest is a fertile brown earth

Broad leaf trees such as oak, beech. hornbeam and elm. It has diverse landscape that includes areas of historic wood, pasture, green lanes, ancient pollarded trees and grassy plains
