Tŷ Ddewi / St David's Coast NVC Survey Report Tŷ Ddewi / St David’s Coast NVC Survey Report Steven Shepherd MCIEEM ADAS Report No 143 Date www.naturalresourceswales.gov.uk About Natural Resources Wales Natural Resources Wales is the organisation responsible for the work carried out by the three former organisations, the Countryside Council for Wales, Environment Agency Wales and Forestry Commission Wales. It is also responsible for some functions previously undertaken by Welsh Government. Our purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, used and enhanced, now and in the future. We work for the communities of Wales to protect people and their homes as much as possible from environmental incidents like flooding and pollution. We provide opportunities for people to learn, use and benefit from Wales' natural resources. We work to support Wales' economy by enabling the sustainable use of natural resources to support jobs and enterprise. We help businesses and developers to understand and consider environmental limits when they make important decisions. We work to maintain and improve the quality of the environment for everyone and we work towards making the environment and our natural resources more resilient to climate change and other pressures. www.naturalresourceswales.gov.uk Page 1 Evidence at Natural Resources Wales Natural Resources Wales is an evidence based organisation. We seek to ensure that our strategy, decisions, operations and advice to Welsh Government and others are underpinned by sound and quality-assured evidence. We recognise that it is critically important to have a good understanding of our changing environment. We will realise this vision by: Maintaining and developing the technical specialist skills of our staff; Securing our data and information; Having a well resourced proactive programme of evidence work; Continuing to review and add to our evidence to ensure it is fit for the challenges facing us; and Communicating our evidence in an open and transparent way. This Evidence Report series serves as a record of work carried out or commissioned by Natural Resources Wales. It also helps us to share and promote use of our evidence by others and develop future collaborations. However, the views and recommendations presented in this report are not necessarily those of NRW and should, therefore, not be attributed to NRW. www.naturalresourceswales.gov.uk Page 2 Report series: NRW Evidence Report Report number: 143 Publication date: February 2016 Contract number: N/A Contractor: ADAS.

Crynodeb Gweithredol Mae arfordir Tŷ Ddewi wedi’i ddynodi’n Ardal Cadwraeth Arbennig (ACA) oherwydd y cymunedau llystyfiant ar y llethr arfordirol ac yn y rhostir. Er mwyn diweddaru set ddata sylfaenol Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru (CNC) ar gyfer cynefinoedd arfordirol, i’w defnyddio ar gyfer gwaith rheoli a chanolbwyntio’r gwaith o fonitro llystyfiant, cafodd ADAS eu comisiynu gan Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru yn 2015 i gynnal arolwg Dosbarthiad Llystyfiant Cenedlaethol (NVC). Roedd y contract yn canolbwyntio’n bennaf ar ddau ddarn o’r arfordir ger Pen-caer a Phenmaendewi ac roedd hefyd yn cynnwys darnau hir o’r arfordir i’r de o Dyddewi. Roedd protocol yr arolwg yn dilyn trefniadau arolygu safonol NVC fel y’u disgrifir gan Rodwell (1991, 1992, 1995 a 2000) a chafodd y llystyfiant ei fapio ar awyrluniau ar raddfa o 1:5000. Mapiwyd yr holl lystyfiant yn yr Ardaloedd Blaenoriaeth a bennwyd ymlaen llaw. Fodd bynnag, oherwydd cyfuniad o brysgwydd dyrys a/neu lethrau/clogwyni serth a pheryglus, nid oedd modd mynd i rai mannau. Mewn achosion felly, dibynnwyd ar graffu trwy sbienddrych er mwyn canfod cymunedau llystyfiant. Mae’r ardaloedd lle gwnaed hyn wedi’u hamlygu. Roedd safle’r arolwg NVC yn mesur cyfanswm o 556.87ha. Mapiwyd cyfanswm o 1035 o bolygonau ar lefel is-gymuned (neu weithiau ar lefel cymuned) neu fel mosaigau o un neu fwy o gymunedau/is-gymunedau. Cofnodwyd cyfanswm o 37 o gymunedau a 49 o is-gymunedau NVC. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys pum grŵp bras o gynefinoedd NVC: Cymunedau morol Cymunedau coetiroedd a phrysgwydd Cymunedau glaswelltir Cymunedau corsiog Cymunedau gwernydd a chorsydd calchog llystyfiant tal Y cynefinoedd o Atodiad 1 a nodir fel y prif reswm dros ei ddewis yn safle ACA yw ‘Clogwyni môr â llystyfiant o arfordiroedd yr Iwerydd a’r Baltig’ a ‘rhostiroedd sych Ewropeaidd’. Yn ardal yr arolwg, gwelwyd bod 34.47ha o glogwyni môr â llystyfiant a 124.55ha o rostir sych Ewropeaidd. Ar y cyfan, fodd bynnag, y mathau mwyaf cyffredin o gymunedau oedd W25 isdyfiant Pteridium aquilinum – Rubus fruticosus ac W23 prysgoed Ulex europaeus - Rubus fruticosus Cofnodwyd nifer o rywogaethau o blanhigion prin neu nodedig, nifer ohonynt o arwyddocâd cenedlaethol a lleol. Wrth asesu ardal yr arolwg yn erbyn meini prawf y JNCC, awgrymir bod yr ardal yn werthfawr o safbwynt cadwraeth ond mae awgrym hefyd y gallai ddod yn llai gwerthfawr gan nad oes cymaint o bori ag y bu ac y gallai hynny arwain at weld rhedyn a phrysgwydd yn lledaenu ar draul cymunedau morol. Fodd bynnag, os yw’r syniad hwnnw’n gywir, byddai modd rheoli’r tir yn briodol er mwyn gwella’r sefyllfa. www.naturalresourceswales.gov.uk Page 7 Executive Summary St. David’s coast has been designated as a SAC on account of its coastal slope and heathland vegetation communities.

Phylogeny of Southern African and Australasian Wahlenbergioids (Campanulaceae) based on ITS and trnL-F sequence data: implications for a reclassification Christopher N. Cupido , Jessica M. Prebble , and William M. M. Eddie Abstract The Campanulaceae: Wahlenbergioideae currently comprises 15 genera, one of which, Wahlenbergia, is widespread over the southern continents. Southern Africa is the region with maximum wahlenbergioid diversity with 12 genera and approximately 252 species. A second center is Australasia with 38 Wahlenbergia species. This study used a broad sample of wahlenbergioid diversity from South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand to reconstruct a phylogeny based on chloroplast trnL-F and nuclear ITS sequences. Data were analyzed separately and in combination using parsimony and Bayesian methods. The results suggest that for the wahlenbergioids to be monophyletic Wahlenbergia hederacea has to be excluded and that none of the South African, Australian or New Zealand lineages are strictly monophyletic. There are five species assemblages that are in some disagreement with current classification in the family. Wahlenbergia, Prismatocarpus and Roella are shown to be non-monophyletic and implications for a reclassification are presented. Careful consideration of morphological characters is suggested before the adjustment of generic circumscriptions can be accomplished. Recent family-wide molecular phylogenetic studies have supported the view that the Campanulaceae s.s.

The paper deals with the relationships of aphids and their host-plants of the family Campanulaceae (bellflower family). The survey was conducted in xerothermic habitats during the years 2008-2010. A total of 84 plots were examined in the western, southern and eastern parts of Poland. The aphids were collected in 28 plots (42 records). As a result, 4 aphid species feeding on 6 different host plants of Campanulaceae were confirmed. KEY WORDS: Aphidomorpha, aphids, bellflower family, host plants, dry habitats. INTRODUCTION In comparison with other hemipterans, with the exception of the Coccomorpha, the aphids (Aphidomorpha) have the strongest relationships with their host plants. The vast majority (about 80%) of aphid species are monophagous or narrowly specialized oligophagous insects, closely related to a single genus or even a single species of host-plant, or with a few genera of plants from the same botanical family. The remaining aphids are polyphagous, unassociated with any particular group of host plants (OSIADACZ & HAŁAJ 2009). A large number of aphid species are associated with various angiosperms, among which the majority of plant families have their specific aphid faunas (HOLMAN 2009).

  • Variation in Jasione Montana L. (Campanulaceae) and Related Species in Europe and North Africa
    Watsonia, 16,249-267 (1987) 249 Variation in Jasione montana L. (Campanulaceae) and related species in Europe and North Africa J. PARNELL School of Botany, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ABSTRACT This paper describes the variation of European and North African Jasione montana L. North African material is assigned to J. montana subsp. cornuta Greuter & Burdet. All other 1. montana belongs to 1. montana subsp. montana within which six varieties are recognized. These are J. montana subsp. montana var. montana, J. montana subsp. montana var. litoralis Fr., 1. montana subsp. montana var. lati/olia Pugs!., J. montana subsp. montana var. echinata Boiss. & Reuter. 1. montana subsp. molltana var. bracteosa Willk. and J. montana subsp. montana var. imbricans J. Parnell, var. novo Only the first three of these varieties occur in Britain. A number of Jasione species are relegated to synonymy with these taxa though the closely related 1. penicillata Boiss., J. corymbosa Poiret ex Schultes and J. heldreichii Boiss. & Orph. are maintained as species. The two latter species are each recognized as containing two varieties; these are 1. corymbosa var. corymbosa, J. corymbosa var. glabra (Durieu ex Boiss. & Reuter) J. Parnell, stat. et comb. nov., 1. heldreichii var. heldreichii and J. heldreichii var. papillosa 1. Parnell, var. novo INTRODUCTION The genus lasione L. (Campanulaceae) contains twelve species. It can be conveniently split into an annual/biennial section and a perennial section. Although two of the perennial members, lasione bulgarica Stoj. & Stefanov and lasione foliosa Cav., have, on occasion, been placed in separate genera, I feel that lasione clearly forms a single natural entity.

JULY was originally named Quintilis, as being the fifth of the Roman year, but as “Caesar the Dictator was borne at Rome, when Caius Martius and Lucius and Valerius Flaccus were consols, vpon the fourth day before the Ides of Quintilis, this moneth after his deathe was, by vertue of the law Antonia, called, for that cause, Julie,” in honour of the Emperor whose labours had reformed the calendar, and whose birth-month it was. July is said to have been the first month of the Celtic year, and was known to the Anglo-Saxons as Hen Monath, or leaf month, from the Germain hain, a grove, and also Hew, or Hay, monat, mead month, the grass being now ripe in the meadows. The Booke of Knowledge tells us that “Thunder in July signifieth the same year shall be good corn and loss of beasts if their strength shall perish,” a prophecy that, as far at least as the corn is concerned, is consolatory in a country whose summer is said to consist of “three hot days and a thunderstorm,” and it is curious that all through northern Europe certain days are set apart on which, if the rain falls, wet weather may be expected [p 61] for some time after.
