GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Dorset)
District Level Licensing Strategic Opportunity Areas for Great Crested Newts in Dorset
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. © Natural England, 2020 Based upon LCM2015 © NERC (CEH) 2011.
