Landscape unit
General description
Landscape units are portions of the catchment with similar morphological characteristics. The catchment is divided into landscape units that are broadly consistent in terms of their topography, geology and land cover, as these factors determine the hydrological responsiveness of a catchment and the source and delivery of sediment to the river system.
The Frome catchment was delineated into 3 landscape units based on elevation, geology and land cover.
