non-sorted patterned ground, sloping sprus, chalk substratumAbstract
A stripe pattern seen on air photographs occurs on thinly driftcovered chalk from the East Riding of Yorkshire to Wiltshire. Stripes are most common in the Breckland of East Anglia and diminish in importance as a factor governing soil variability away from, this locality, With increasing distance from the Breckland, stripes are at higher altitudes and occur most commonly on gently sloping spurs. Soil textures are variable between striped localities.
