Heathlands and Roads

This pack contains materials to support a study of heathland, one of our most endangered and fragile habitats. It is primarily aimed at students studying KS5 Biology and Environmental Studies. The main aim of this resource is for students to understand the impact that roads can have on heathland habitats, both in terms of anthropogenic nitrogen pollution and habitat fragmentation. The resource provides practical, scientific investigations without the need to organise a field trip. The resource is divided into three separate sections. You do not need to complete all three sections.
