GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Cambridgeshire)
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 25x25m square where great crested newt presence has been predicted. Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 25x25m 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: Density of arable land 0-50% Density of coniferous woodland 10-25% Density of deciduous woodland 10-100% Distance from deciduous woodland 0-100m Density of grassland 25-75% Nearest pond 0-125m pH 6.5-7.5 Distance from rivers 150-1000m These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. All scores are summed, scores ≤ 0 are not displayed Urban areas > 2ha (+250m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m) have been excluded.
