Heathland



         


Heathland is a dry, warm ecosystem consisting of sandy or peaty soil upon which such vegetation as gorse and heather is usually found to be growing.

Heathland plays host to a great profusion of wildlife including, in Britain, the Smooth Snake and the Sand Lizard. It is also an excellent habitat for ants with many species being restricted entirely to it.
