GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Cumbria)
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 within 250m and are located within a 25m square where great crested newt presence has been predicted. Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 within 250m and are located within a 25km 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: The following suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’: grassland density 10 - 66% distance from arable >125m distrance from woodland < 100m Elevation 100 - 300m Nearest pond < 100m pH 6 – 7 distance from rivers 100-500m The following unsuitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘-1’: urban density 50 - 100% Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m) have been excluded.
