Abstract
At Loch Fleet the liming strategy was based on both laboratory and field trials of lime applications to moorland soils, the design of the latter being based on the results of the former. Innovative treatments, for example moorland burning and forest fertilisation, were also attempted, and have been compared with the performance of the liming treatments.
