Your primary data will tell you a lot about the biotic and abiotic differences in the habitats you study, but only at the time of your study. In order to think about temporal changes and other contributing factors, you can research secondary data.
Using local BGS Geology viewer superficial and base rock geology can be established in the area of study, which can give valuable insights on the impacts of base rock and soils on the drainage, fertility and texture of the soil.
If your study is based around woodlands, secondary research can be done into woodland management techniques. Useful information can be found on the Government website or information about the plants and trees in UK grasslands and woodlands can be found in our Field Studies Council ID guides found here: Plant and tree ID guides
