| Lineage | The location of soil pit location comes from the work carried out by a team of three researchers from Aberdeen who sampeld 33 sites randomly from November 1967 to January 1968. The focus was on soil and grass type, as highlighted in the brief summary of the final report: the main results are that the soil is characterised by undecomposed peat on sedimentary rocks, quartzite, conglomerates and sandstones. Grassland is generally considered as rough and poor. Further details can be acquired from the report "R.B.King, D.M. Lang and A.Blair Rains, 1969, Land SystemAnalysis of the Falkland Islands, with notes on the soil and grassland. Land Resources Division Directorate of Overseas Surveys. Tolworth Surrey, England, UK". The locations of the soil pits is approximate as they have been georeferenced using a warping technique using the corners of the original map sheet as reference marks. |
