Only 10% of the variation was accounted for by the normal site survey factors, i.e. tree height, topex, aspect. The soils were all high risk soils surface water gleys and peaty gleys and were not mapped. As we felt sure that relative exposure was an important factor and topex had accounted for little of the variation we decided to have a look at other methods of exposure zonation. ER -
