GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Lancashire)
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 a radius) and are located within a 25x25m grid square where great crested newt presence has been predicted. Fringe areas contain a pond density of <2 and are located within a 25x25m grid 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: Arable density 0 - 33% Grassland density (including fen) 10-75% Distance from grassland (including fen) 0-100m Woodland density 10-33% Distance from woodland 0-100m Distance from rivers 100-1000m Elevation 0-150m pH 6.75-7.5 These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m) have been excluded.
