This dataset identifies areas where the addition of new ponds would benefit Great Crested Newt populations.<\/SPAN><\/P>

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.<\/SPAN><\/P>

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.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Higher scores are associated with darker colouration and represent a greater presence of suitable habitat features:<\/SPAN><\/P>

Elevation 0 - 400m<\/SPAN><\/P>

Density of woodland 10 - 60%<\/SPAN><\/P>

Density of grassland 10 - 60%<\/SPAN><\/P>

pH 6.25 - 7.5<\/SPAN><\/P>

Soil drainage classed as 'Naturally wet' or 'Drainage impeded'<\/SPAN><\/P>

These suitable habitat features have been given a score of \u20181\u2019.<\/SPAN><\/P>
