GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Norfolk & Suffolk)
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: Distance from a River 200 -2000m Soil pH 6.5 – 7.5 Soil Phosphorus 35 -45 mg kg-1 Arable Density < 33% Distance from Grassland <100m Grassland Density 10 -40% Distance from Woodland < 100m These suitable habitat features have 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.
