Heathlands and Roads
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 PowerPoint presentation introduces students to nitrogen deposition and why it is a problem for heathlands, and leads students through each of the activities including: aims, objectives, data collection, analysis and evaluation. Tests and questions are included to provide interactive elements.
This resource was written by Dr Lauren Gough and Dr Amy Rogers (Open Air Laboratories East Midlands, University of Nottingham).
