GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Greater Manchester)
Summary
Due to technical issues this dataset is currently unavailable to view or download on ArcGIS Online or the Natural England Open Data Geoportal. Please view or download the Greater Manchester features in the GCN Strategic Opportunity Areas (England) combined product at: https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/08082819-c50e-4049-bf56-74b2dc642a21/gcn-strategic-opportunity-areas-england 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 25 - 75% woodland density 5 - 75% Distance from rivers >1000m Soil pH 6.5 to 7.5 Phosphorus 30 to 40 These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. Arable land (density 50 - 100%) and Heather (density 33.33 - 100%) have been given a score of ‘-1’. Roads (7.5m), rivers (7.5m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded.
