GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (North and West Yorkshire)
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: Elevation 0 - 400m Density of woodland 10 - 60% Density of grassland 10 - 60% pH 6.25 - 7.5 Soil drainage classed as 'Naturally wet' or 'Drainage impeded' These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. Density of arable land 33 - 100% Has been given a score of -1 Presence of heather Have been given a score of -2 Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m).
