This paper reports on hydrogeomorphological research undertaken within a drainage basin, in the New Forest, which contains two types of semi-natural vegetation cover which are a diminishing resource within the UK: lowland heath and floodplain forest
. This research investigates interactions between vegetation and hydrogeomorphological processes, but also focuses more specfically on developing a fuller understanding of the hydrogeomorphological functioning of drainage basins under these two diminishing cover
