Land Use and Landscape
Overview
Almost three-quarters of the land in England and Wales is used for food production. This figure is falling gradually as more farmland and countryside are being used for other purposes,such as housing.
How is the land used today?
The land and soli provide food,clean water,thriving wildlife and a place to live. The varied geology and climate across England and Wales influence the soils and vegetation that are present.
The last regular land cover survey of Great Britain showed that in England and Wales:
- 26% covered by grassland ( pasture,meadow,etc.;
- 33% tilled for crops;
- 11% woodland;
- 10% urban and suburban ;
- 19% semi -natural vegetation ( uncultivated areas such as rough glass,marsh and moorland);
Arable ( tilled) land is found mostly in the drier lowlands to the east. Grasslands occur mainly in the wetter west and north uplands.
