12240415	2020-11-17	SZ662999	Milton Park, Portsmouth	Anderson, Kieran	Sherlock (2018) Earthworm AIDGAP 2nd edition	Site is an area of amenity grassland adjacent to a number of hard surfaced tennis courts, with some trees and herbaceous borders on the edge, in a conventionally managed Local Authority park. Site is heavily used for recreation and dog walking. Elsewhere in park there is evidence of casting on the surface, however this patch of grass and its herbaceous borders lacked any obvious casting when searched for. The soil is clayey and relatively well drained.	041 park	5	79	0	2	0	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
