    6. Cambridgeshire 6.1 Physical Geology The solid geology of Cambridgeshire is simple, with bard$ of progressively older socks from the Chalk in the southeast, to Oolitic limestones in the north west. In between Jurassic and Cretaceous clays are dominant. A narrow band of Lower Greensand crosses the county but this is mostly obscured by drift. Much of the county is in fact covered by thick drift including boulder clay, alluvium, peat and limited amounts of glacial sands and gravels. Soils Boulder clay, alluvial and chalk and limestone soils occupy most of thc county but soil associations dominated by brown sands do occur around Gamlingay on the Lower Greensand in the east, an extension of the Bedfordshire Greensand outcrop. The blown sands of Breckland also just penetrate the county in the eat around Kennet and Chippenham to Newmarket Heath, where therc are polygons and stripes (Map Id). 6.2 Landscape history 19th Century On the 1830’s 1 inch OS map, Gamlingay Heath is marked as still menclosed with the valley mires specifically shown. In the east, Kennet Heath still existed, although by then in a generally enclosed countryside. Current landscapes and Natural Areas The county is dominated by the West Angllan Plain (NA52) and the Fens (NA37) Natural Areas which are unlikely territory for acid grassland. To the south the East Angllan Chalk Natural Area (NA5 1) also has limited potential for acid grassland but small areas of Brmkland (NA46) and the Bedfordshire Greensand Ridge (NA53) Natural Areas just enter the county and both contain areas of soil associations dominated by brown sands.

Rumsey, I.Taylor Further information on the JNCC Species Status project can be obtained from the Joint Nature Conservation Committee website at http://www.jncc.gov.uk/ Copyright JNCC 2005 ISSN 1473-0154 (Online) Membership of the Working Group Botanists from different organisations throughout Britain and N. Ireland were contacted in January 2003 and asked whether they would like to participate in the Working Group to produce a new Red List. The core Working Group, from the first meeting held in February 2003, consisted of botanists in Britain who had a good working knowledge of the British and Irish flora and could commit their time and effort towards the two-year project. Other botanists who had expressed an interest but who had limited time available were consulted on an appropriate basis.

  • Southwest Dartmoor Downs
    Areas of outstanding botanical interest Southwest Dartmoor Downs The Southwest Dartmoor Downs comprise a relatively well-defined area of flat topped unenclosed commons that together form a necklace of sites around the southwestern margins of Dartmoor, roughly from Tavistock to Ivybridge. They are locally known as ‘downs’, but in reality, the visitor will find a mosaic of acid grassland, heathland and scrub, and certainly none of the more traditional chalkhill grasslands that go by this name in south-central and Southeastern England. There is no doubt that the downs have been, and continue to be, rather overlooked by botanists and conservationists, by-passed in favour of the altogether loftier moorlands of Dartmoor proper, that rise to the north and east. Yet they are not the overgrazed areas of degraded heathland, overrun with day-trippers from Plymouth, of botanists’ perceptions, but instead are botanically, geologically and geomorphologically distinct, and support a fine lowland grass-heath flora to this day. One man who clearly recognised their importance, botanically-speaking, was Thomas Richard Archer Briggs (1836-1891), who for the whole of his life was a ‘single minded and kind hearted’ resident of Fursdon, 50 A New Flora of Devon Southwest Dartmoor Downs Eggbuckland: the downs were on his doorstep, and must have been a favourite stamping ground of his. It was he who recorded so many of the grass and heathland species for which the area remains of considerable importance today, adding most notably Plymouth Pear Pyrus cordata as new to the British flora from hedgebanks in and around the former Buckland Down.
