GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Shropshire)
Summary
This dataset identifies areas where the addition of new ponds would benefit Great Crested Newt populations. The core areas contain a pond density of 2+ ponds and are located within a 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted. Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted or are within a 250m of a Core Area. Higher scores are associated with darker colouration and represent a greater presence of suitable habitat features: grassland density 10% - 50% distance to deciduous woodland 0 - 200m coniferous woodland density 0% - 25% within 500m - 2000m of a river These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. arable density 33.33% - 100% heather density 33.33% - 100% distance to nearest pond > 750m These habitat features have been given a score of ‘-1’. Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m), rivers (7.5m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded.
