  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes

    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes

    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

    Lichen Flora of the Malham Tarn Area

    Field Studies, 10, (2001) 57 - 92 LICHEN FLORA OF THE MALHAM TARN AREA M. R. D. SEAWARD Department of Environmental Science, University of Bradford, Bradford BD7 1DP AND A. PENTECOST Division of Life Sciences, King's College London, Franklin-Wilkins Building, 150 Stamford Street, London SE1 8WA ABSTRACT A checklist of lichens, lichenicolous fungi and associated fungi recorded from an area within 5 km of the Malham Tarn Field Centre, Yorkshire is accompanied by background information on the ecology and the history of recording there. In all, 346 taxa (including Lecidea obluridata Nyl., new to Britain) have been recorded from the area; 48 are based on old records, most of which are presumed extinct, but some are questionable in the absence of supporting herbarium material. COLLECTORS The earliest lichen records from Malham are attributable to Richard Richardson (1663- 1741) of North Bierley, the first Yorkshireman to collect lichens; his localised material, used by Johann Jacob Dillenius (1684-1747) for his revision of Ray's Synopsis (1724) and his own Historia Muscorum (1742), is to be found in the Dillenian and Sherardian Herbaria at Oxford University (OXF). Other botanists contributing to our knowledge of Malham lichens in the 18th and 19th centuries include John G. Baker (1834-1920), William Borrer (1781-1862), Benjamin Carrington (1827-1893), Samuel Hailstone (1768-1851), Thomas Hebden (1849-1931), William Hudson (1734-1793), Frederic A. Lees (1847-1921), John Nowell (1802-1867), Abraham Shackleton (1830-1916), Abraham Stansfield (1802-1880), William West (1848- 1914) and John Windsor (1787-1868). Hailstone's Malham records appear in Whitaker (1805), but many are unlocalised, being expressed as occurring in 'the Craven area'.

These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

    Site Improvement Plan Craven Limestone Complex

    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Craven Limestone Complex Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.
