This dataset identifies areas where the addition of new ponds would benefit Great Crested Newt populations.
The core areas contain a pond density of 2+ ponds and are located within a 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted.
Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted or are within a 250m of a Core Area.
Higher scores are associated with darker colouration and represent a greater presence of suitable habitat features (*** features vary between clusters): grassland density (*** %), woodland density (*** %), Distance to deciduous woodland (*** m), Coniferous woodland density (*** %), Distance from rivers (*** m), Soil pH (), Phosphorus (), Arable density (*** %), Shannon Weaver Diversity () = ‘1’. Arable land ( density %), Heather (*** density %), distance to nearest pond (*** m), Soil Type () = '-1'. Urban Area ( Ha [+ *** m buffer]), roads (*** m), rivers (*** m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded. © Natural England [Year], reproduced with the permission of Natural England, http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/copyright/. © Crown Copyright and database rights [Year].
