About

National Highways awarded a contract to Atkins Jacobs Joint Venture for a research project titled 'T0597 Improving understanding of nitrogen deposition - Project 1 of 3: Woodland fungi as an indicator of woodland health'.

The project aimed to investigate changes in soil health and vegetation influenced by increases in nitrogen deposition, testing the hypothesis that indicators of soil health positively correlate with reductions in nitrogen from gaseous sources such as vehicle exhausts.

The scope included botanical surveys to determine visible changes due to impacts on soil health.

The contract value was £47,270.28.
