Abstract: |
The soils and geomorphology of the islands are described.The main soils of the islands are formed in granitic Head, loess (wind-blown silt) and blown sand. Most soils are podzolic and their nature reflects the parent material type whilst man has strongly influenced soil development via vegetation change and more directly by the addition of seaweeds and by deep and intensive culitivation. |
