Fauna and flora

The natural vegetation of the British Isles, formed mainly by forests of deciduous trees (which loses its foliage in a certain time of year), with predominance of oak, beech, ash and Olmos, reduced, in large part as a result of the agricultural holding . Thus, only a small portion of British territory is occupied by forest reserves, mainly in the north and east of Scotland and the south-east England. In the northern uplands, soils are poor and thin, and the Moors peat land or grow and flourish heathers, grasses and tojos. The fauna of the United Kingdom, similar to the European continent, and although poor in species, is protected by strict laws that govern the game. Still, it left few species of mammals such as deer (which still exist only in Scotland), wolves, foxes and rabbits.
