... INTRODUCTION THE EFFECT OF LIGHT INTENSITY ON DIVERSITY OF PLANTS ON WOODLAND FLOORS. The investigation is about determining how diversity of plants in three woodlands is affected by light intensity. To do this I will have to find a way of varying light intensity, since this is not possible; I will do my investigation in Park Hurst forest, which has three different types of woodland. Park Hurst forest is one of the oldest forests recorded in the country. The woodlands in the forest have different light intensities so in effect I am varying the light intensity in my investigation. The woodlands present in Park Hurst forest are coppice woodland, pasture woodland and conifer plantation. COPPICE WOODLAND Coppicing is one of the oldest forms of woodland management and has been practiced in Britain for many centuries. Coppicing is the process of cutting down deciduous trees and allowing them to regrow for some 7-25 years before harvesting
