Our aim is to manage the series to the highest standards, demonstrate good management practice including value for money, provide opportunities for people to experience wildlife, and provide opportunities for applied research.” Work Plan 1996-97, English Nature “Our priority actions include a commitment to increase the size, use and value of NNRs.” Beyond 2000 Strategy, English Nature 1997 “We are convinced that the establishment, maintenance and management of NNRs remains a key statutory function for the conservation agencies.” Sites of Special Scientific Interest Better Protection and Management, DETR 1998 Lullington Heath NNR, Sussex.

  • Wiltshire Botany
    WILTSHIRE BOTANY JOURNAL OF THE WILTSHIRE BOTANICAL SOCIETY ISSUE NO. 3, February 2000 CONTENTS 1 E DITORIAL 2 The Flora of Berwick St. James Barbara Last 15 Grassland Communities on Salisbury Plain Training Area: Results of the ITE ecological survey Kevin Walker and Richard Pywell 28 The recent history of Batology in Wiltshire Rob Randall 33 Plant records 1997 35 Addition to 1996 records 36 Plant records 1998 Wiltshire Botany 3, 2000, page1 EDITORIAL Each issue of Wiltshire Botany so far has managed to break new ground. This issue contains the first village flora to be included. Barbara Last has systematically recorded the plants growing in Berwick St James, and her article gives an account of her findings. Hopefully, it will inspire others to do similar work in their own localities. Our second article is the first systematic account we have published on the vegetation of Salisbury Plain. In this case, Kevin Walker and Richard Pywell describe the grassland communities of the MoD Training Area. Kevin and Richard can be contacted at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Monks Wood, Abbots Ripton, Huntingdon, Cambs., PE17 2LS. Tel. 01487 773381.Fax. 01487 773467. Email; [email protected] Innovation is complemented by continuity. Rob Randall’s article continues his account of the history of recording the many different species of bramble in Wiltshire. His account brings us more or less up to the present day. It is hoped that the next issue will contain what is effectively an up-to-date bramble flora of Wiltshire. As in previous issues, a selection of the Society’s plant records is included.

  • A New Geological Model to Explain the Gravity Gradient Across Exmoor, North Devon

The model casts of 6-I km/s approaches to about 2 km of the further doubt on the existence of a major thrust surface. It is shown that the gravity field across under Exmoor. Exmoor and the Bristol Channel can be ex- I. Introduction SEVERAL LONG SEISMIC LINES in the Bristol Channel area, full details of which will be presented in later papers, give evidence of a basal layer of high velocity, in the range from 6. I-6. 3 km/s, which is interpreted as being of Lower Palaeozoic or Precambrian age. This layer, which almost certainly does not represent the same geological formation under all lines, lies at shallow depth under the western part of the South Wales Coalfield, deepens southwards into the northern part of the Bristol Channel and rises rapidly towards the north Devon coast. Figure I illustrates reduced time-distance curves for two of the long seismic lines D and F, whose locations are shown in Fig. 2. On each line, a series of offshore shots was fired into a fixed array of land recording stations.

  • Summer Meetings 2019
    Somerset Rare Plants Group: Summer Meetings 2019 Please email or ring the leader before each meeting to say you are coming. This helps with planning and can be useful if there are changes to the programme. Parking is sometimes limited so please lift share where possible. Please bring your GPS/Mobile phone if you have one. Meetings usually start at 11am. Please note that the Meeting on 1st April at Taunton Herbarium starts at 9.45am. Meetings on 9th June at Fivehead Arable Fields and on 31st August at Shapwick Heath NNR will start at 10am and Meetings on 1st June at Flax Bourton and on 11th August at Holford Combe will start at 10.30am. Monday 1st April Taraxacum meeting (Taunton Herbarium; Somerset Heritage Centre) (VC5) Aimed at those currently collecting/recording dandelions or those wishing to do so. Although dandelions are often seen as difficult (and it’s true: they’re not easy!) they nevertheless have a significant number of identification features that, with the help of keys and an ‘expert eye’, make them readily identifiable to species level. Collecting and pressing dandelions can be a tremendously satisfying pastime – an art as much as a science – and a nicely mounted and correctly named specimen is always a source of tremendous satisfaction. This meeting will comprise a short introductory talk on Taraxacum, followed by a visit to the Herbarium (same building). In the afternoon we will venture onto road verges and waste ground adjoining the Heritage Centre to collect specimens, then return to the Centre to work through keys and press plants for eventual determination/confirmation by the national expert John Richards.

  • Broads Water Quality Report: River Thurne 2015
    East Anglia Area (Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk) Broads water quality report: River Thurne 2015 Map showing the location of water quality sampling sites in the River Thurne and Broads. Broads water quality report: River Thurne 2015 Page 1 of 6 Status River: Water quality is good for dissolved oxygen, ammonia and nitrate. Broads: Nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen – including ammonia and nitrate) are not all meeting the national and international standards High nutrient concentrations have a negative effect on the ecology of the broads. Nutrient sources include internal release from sediments, diffuse sources and tidal mixing of water from downstream. It is estimated that 97% of phosphorus in the Upper Thurne Broads and marshes comes from diffuse sources such as agriculture, minor point sources and septic tanks. Ammonia levels fail the water quality standards in Horsey Mere where concentrations are noticeably higher than the other broads in the Thurne. This is because there is an input of ammonia to the broad from the surface drains via Brograve drainage pump. The water in the Thurne river and broads is brackish. This is caused by sea water percolating through the ground close to the coast which is then drawn through drainage pumps into the broads and rivers. Actions The water catchment around the Thurne is designated as a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. In this zone limits are set on when and how much nitrogen can be applied to agricultural land to reduce the amount of nitrate reaching the rivers and broads. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nutrient-management-nitrate-vulnerable-zones Following studies done in 2014, the dominant source of ammonia in the Brograve drain is believed to be from agricultural activity.
