Heathland, "brown earths" and geology?

I'm doing a thesis on lowland heathland, specifically looking at the condition of it at 1 site. I've found a survey which concludes most of the soil in the area is "brown earth", and from my research I'm finding that heathland typically grows on more podzolic soils.
So... how suitable are brown earths for lowland heathland? I'm trying to find out the pH range of brown earths and their nutrient availability.
A couple of geological maps I've got here: geology in the areas im studying are Trachyte, Skomeritte, marloesite and mugarite, if this has any effect.
I can't find the data I want online, so if anyone knows any good books or (reputable) websites which may be useful, any help will be appreciated.
My knowledge of soils and geology is limited so fairly simple language/explainations please
Thankyou!
