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 (within 250m a radius) and are located within a 25x25m grid square where great crested newt presence has been predicted.
Fringe areas contain a pond density of <2 and are located within a 25x25m grid 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:
Arable density 0 - 33%
Grassland density (including fen) 10-75%
Distance from grassland (including fen) 0-100m
Woodland density 10-33%
Distance from woodland 0-100m
Distance from rivers 100-1000m
Elevation 0-150m
pH 6.75-7.5
These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’.
Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m) have been excluded. © Natural England, 2020
