Explanation:
positive impact
Enclosures had become necessary to make long-term investments on land and plan crop rotation to improve the soil. Enclosures also allowed the richer farmers to expand the land under their control. They could produce more for the market to earn more profit.
negative impact
Enclosure by the landed gentry restricted use of what had been "common land" - able to be used by all in the area. This loss of land availability diminished the ability of the small farmers to survive. Left without a way to make a living, farmers and agricultural workers moved to cities to try and find work.
