Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. As underlying geology influences the soils types above, it is an important consideration in the planning of successful, locally appropriate habitat restoration and creation.  Clay, silt, gley and peat soils are positive indicators for wetland types, for example.  Clay, silt, sand and gravel can also be positive indicators for select woodland types.
