  • Somerset Rivers Authority End of Year Report 2016-17: Contents
    END OF YEAR REPORT 2016-17 1 SOMERSET RIVERS AUTHORITY END OF YEAR REPORT 2016-17: CONTENTS 1. Introduction (page 2) 2. Performance Delivery: Summary (page 3), Delivery Status: By Funding Source (page 4) Finance: Summary (pages 4 to 5) 3. Progress of Works in Detail Key Projects (pages 6 to 10) SRA 2016-17 Enhanced Programme (pages 11 to 21) INTRODUCTION In 2016-17, Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) spent just over £6million on actions designed to give Somerset an extra level of flood protection. This end of year report explains where the money came from and how it was spent. It also gives information about projects that have been delayed or had their funding moved to other activities. These details have been provided because the SRA wants people to know what it has achieved across the county – and it wants to be properly accountable. The SRA raises extra money to deliver extra work. Schemes are prioritised for SRA funding on the basis of the main objectives in Somerset’s 20 Year Flood Action Plan, which was developed in response to the floods of winter 2013-14. This report is divided into two sections. Performance covers delivery overall and by funding source, plus a table summarising 2016-17 finance; Progress gives more details about major projects, and smaller actions grouped according to SRA workstream – Dredging & River Management, Land Management, Urban Water Management, Resilient Infrastructure and Building Community Resilience. Somerset’s approach is uniquely joined-up. This report details just one year of the SRA’s extra work. For much more information about earlier years, works in progress and works coming up, visit www.somersetriversauthority.org.uk A note on Somerset Rivers Authority: The SRA is a partnership between 11 of Somerset’s existing flood risk management authorities: Somerset County Council, the five district councils, the Axe Brue and Parrett Internal Drainage Boards, the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Wessex Regional Flood & Coastal Committee.

  • Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

  • Mells River Sink — a Spelaeological Curiosity in East Mendip, Somerset
    93 Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1982, 16 (2), 93-104. MELLS RIVER SINK — A SPELAEOLOGICAL CURIOSITY IN EAST MENDIP, SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON ABSTRACT The site is a cleft in the side of the Mells River that acts as a resurgence in winter and a swallet in summer. An excavation, 1974-78, began 21m above, and ended 2m below, river level. It showed (hat a high-leve! resurgence was active in the Middle Devensian, and was buried under later deposits. Scattered finds of archaeological significance included Woolly Rhinoceros bones and a First Century bronze brooch. Water tracing experiments proved that the Sink is the upper end of an active underground oxbow to the Mells River, 2.5 km long. The cleft was developed along a neptunian dyke of Lower Lias age. Bubbling springs and 'cave, coral" are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION The Mells River rises at Gurney Slade and flows east below the north flank of the Mendips to join the River Frome at Frome. It receives water from the Carboniferous Limestone resurgences of Winter Well, Gurney Slade, Ashwick Grove, St. Dunstan's Well, Whitehole, Cobby Wood, Hapsford and other smaller springs (Barrington and Stanton, 1977). Some of these resurgences fail in dry weather, and one of them, Mells River Sink, is so close to the river bed that, at times, the spring flow actually reverses and part of the river disappears down the hole. In the drought summer of 1976 about one quarter of the Mells River was lost into Mells River Sink. At the village of Mells the Mells River leaves undulating low ground to enter a wooded gorge (Wadbury Valley) incised by super imposed drainage into the north flank of East Mendip (Barrington and Stanton, 1977, p 220).

  • The Loss of Photosynthesis Pathway in a Holoparasitic Plant Aeginetia Indica Revealed by Plastid Genome and Transcriptome Sequencing

Page 1/16 Abstract Background With three origins of holoparasitism, Orobanchaceae provides an ideal system to study the evolution of holoparasitic lifestyle in plants. The evolution of holoparasitism can be revealed by plastid genome degradation and the coordinated changes in the nuclear genome, since holoparasitic plants lost the capability of photosynthesis. Among the three clades with holoparasitic plants in Orobanchaceae, only Clade VI has no available plastid genome sequences for holoparasitic plants. Results In this study, we sequenced the plastome and transcriptome of Aeginetia indica , a holoparasitic plant in Clade VI of Orobanchaceae, to study its plastome evolution and the corresponding changes in the nuclear genome as a response of the loss of photosynthetic function. Its plastome is reduced to 86,212 bp in size, and almost all photosynthesis-related genes were lost.

  • Five Spring Woodland Plants to Record
    Five Spring Woodland Plants to Record – March – June These species are not particularly rare and may be locally frequent, but our database shows that they are probably under-recorded in some areas. They are mainly woodland species and may possibly grow together in some types of woodland, so you may be able to record more than one at some sites. The maps of all 5 species show earlier records as blue squares and post-2000 records as black dots, so it is easy to see areas to be particularly targeted, but all records from any sites are welcome. Four-figure (1km square) or six-figure (100m square) grid references will be sufficient for these relatively common species. Wood Anemone, Wind-flower (Anemone nemorosa) is familiar to all of us and is common in Woods and hedgerows. It is common in the east of the county, but absent from the Levels and higher parts of Exmoor, however, there are some gaps in our records since 2000, so send all of your records to update our maps and try to fill in some of the gaps. Anemone nemorosa (Wood Anemone) 8 7 6 Records post 2000 5 Records 1987 -1999 Records 1970 -1986 4 Records pre 1970 3 2 1 Wood Anemone at Great Elm. HJC SS ST SX 7 8 9 SY 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Moschatel, Town-hall Clock (Adoxa moschatellina) is a low-growing delicate plant which likes damp ancient woodland and old hedge-banks. It disappears completely later in the year, so early Spring is the best time to spot this tiny green- flowered plant, as it can get overtopped by Wild Garlic and other more vigorous plants as the season develops.

  • Woodland Heritage Manual Revised Version Final.Qxd
    Woodland Heritage Manual - 2008 Section B:The Heritage This section provides the background and context for the rest of the manual. It describes the evolution of today’s wooded landscapes, explains how their usage has changed over time and why and how they should be protected for the future. Key definitions and concepts relating to wooded landscapes, their archaeology, history and ecology are introduced. These are designed to help you understand the importance of the documentary research and field surveys for your own woodland. The chapters in this section can be read alone without having to Section B The Heritage undertake any further work or carry out surveys. Chapters give several references for further reading, if you are new to the subject. This section includes the following chapters: 1. Introduction to Woods and Wooded Landscapes 2.Woodland Crafts and Industries 3.Woodland History and Archaeology 4.What is an Ancient Woodland? 5.Woodland Ecology and Biodiversity 6.Woodland Conservation Management The section should be seen as a reference section complementing and guiding your documentary research, field surveys, report writing, management and interpretation. 7 Woodland Heritage Manual - 2008 B1: Introduction to Woods and Wooded Landscapes Ian D. Rotherham, Mel Jones and Alastair Oswald The Wildwood The so-called ‘Wildwood’ was the natural woodland that grew up when the glaciers and ice sheets melted across Britain at the end of the Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago. Frozen ground thawed and climatic conditions improved to the point where trees could move in again from those parts of Europe that had lain beyond the grip of ice.

Summary Lathraea squamaria is a spring flowering root parasite that lacks chlorophyll and on which, to my knowledge, no recent ecological studies have been performed. Apart from studies on weeds and their part in crop damage, the number of ecological studies on parasitic plants is limited. I conducted an inventory of all L. squamaria patches in a 1.3 ha area where I studied the effect of several shoot and patch characteristics on seed set and what effect competition from other species has on different aspects of flowering. I also made a hand-pollination experiment to investigate if the studied L. squamaria population suffers from pollen limitation. Pollen limitation occurs when a plant has an inadequate pollen receipt and thus produces fewer fruits and/or seeds. My results showed that there were no correlations between the shoot and patch characteristics and seed set. However, the density of L. squamaria shoots in the patches was significantly decreasing when ground vegetation cover was increasing and is thus affected by competition from other species.
