[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 19922, member: 487"] Been doing a lot of reading over Winter loamer and have come to the same conclusion about plant species, geological boundaries, soil mineralisation, PH and plant nutrition. Some deposits due to the hydrogen released during oxidation underground can form PH/nutrient imbalances in the topsoil, making certain nutrients unavailable, resulting in decreased or sickly looking growth, compared to trees with ideal soil conditions. The further away from the deposit the healthier the plants are due to the unstable ph sensitive elements precipitating out over distance from the deposit and soil condition nutrient availability/PH becoming favouable again for healthy growth. A lot of times I've read of people looking for these dwarfed or mishapen stands of trees among a healthy looking forest as indicators of a deposit. Makes sense. Keen to put all this reading into practice now. [/QUOTE]
