GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Derbyshire)

Description

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: pH 6-7 Distance from grassland <100m Density of grassland 5-67% Distance from woodland <100m Density of woodland 5-67% Shannon-Weaver diversity -2 to -0.8 These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. Distance from arable land <250m Has been given a score of ‘-1’. Urban areas > 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m), rivers (7.5m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded.
