Climate exposure

This is about exposure to a nationwide pressure this habitat type carries — not a verdict on this site's own management.

Peatland

Peat habitats store centuries of carbon and depend on a stable, waterlogged water table. Warmer, drier summers dry out peat, making it far more vulnerable to wildfire and to carbon release — a pressure that can undo years of restoration work regardless of how well the site is otherwise managed.

Coastal

Coastal habitats are exposed to sea-level rise and storm erosion. Where hard sea defences sit behind them, there's nowhere landward to retreat to — a squeeze that keeps compressing the habitat no matter how well it's managed.

Description

West Lizard SSSI Description West Lizard SSSI is situated 10 kilometres south of Helston and comprises coastal vegetation between Predannack and Caerthillian and the inland heathlands of the west of the Lizard Peninsula. The site lies on serpentinised peridotite, altered in parts to talc (or soapstone), with minor intrusions of granite. Caerthillian, at the southern tip of the site lies on schist. The peninsula is a flat plateau representing a former sea floor which now stands above current sea level, meeting the sea with high steep cliffs. In places the serpentinite plateau is overlain with a fine windblown 'loess' deposit laid down during periglacial conditions associated with the last Ice Age. Loess weathers to stagnogley soils. The ultrabasic serpentinite forms shallow poorly drained gley soils. The unusual geology combined with a mild oceanic climate has led to the development of a range of vegetation types which in Britain is unique to the Lizard Peninsula. The site is outstanding botanically with 13 Red Data Book (RDB) species*, including cornish heath Erica vagans which is confined in the British Isles to the Lizard Peninsula and County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Kynance Cove is of particular geological importance as it exposes one of the most detailed exposures of ophiolitic serpentinite in the country. Biology The vegetation of the cliffs exhibits a complex of maritime communities. On the exposed lower slopes, a maritime rock-crevice community is found. Levels of salt deposition are high and maritime species including thrift Armeria maritima subsp. maritima, rock samphire Crithmum maritimum and sea aster Aster tripolium are found. This community is often discontinuous and is displaced further up the cliff by a maritime therophyte community, found on the shallow soils of rock ledges and outcrops. The community is characterised by English stonecrop Sedum anglicum, least soft-brome Bromus hordeaceus subsp. ferronii, thrift and buck's-horn plantain Plantago coronopus with sea carrot Daucus carota subsp. gummifer and kidney vetch Anthyllis vulneraria. Maritime grassland communities occur on the cliff tops where soils are deeper but maritime influence remains strong. These communities comprise red fescue Festuca rubra and Yorkshire-fog Holcus lanatus together with thrift and sea carrot. Where the grassland is trampled, buck's-horn plantain and daisy Bellis perennis thrive producing a 'short-turf' community. Conversely on Asparagus Island where there is no trampling wild asparagus Asparagus officinalis subsp. prostratus* is abundant. Maritime heath also occurs and is dominated by sheep's-fescue Festuca ovina and heather Calluna vulgaris with wild thyme Thymus polytrichus subsp. arcticus, autumn squill Scilla autumnalis, spring sandwort Minuartia verna and thyme broomrape Orobanche alba. Thrift and common dog-violet Viola riviniana also occur in abundance. In places the cliffs are strewn with clitter and boulder scree which is typically colonised by bloody crane's-bill Geranium sanguineum. The plateau and cliffs are cut by valleys at Caerthillian, Kynance and Gew Graze. The south facing slopes with greater insolation and periodic droughts are of particular importance for many rare plant species. At Caerthillian on the schist/serpentinite boundary, twin-headed clover Trifolium bocconei*, long-headed cover Trifolium incarnatum subsp. molineri*, upright clover Trifolium strictum*, land quillwort Isoetes histrix*, hairy bird's foot-trefoil Lotus subbiflorus, wild chives Allium schoenoprasum and spring sandwort can all be found. Kynance is important for populations of fringed rupturewort Herniaria ciliolata*, spotted cat's-ear Hypochaeris maculata*, upright chickweed Moenchia erecta and green-winged orchid Anacamptis morio, a species found only on the Lizard in Cornwall. Gew Graze has intrusions of steatite or soapstone and is of note as the only site in Devon and Cornwall for juniper Juniperus communis. Further inland where maritime influence is weaker, heathland communities are found. Cornish Heath is abundant on serpentinite soils and is a dominant species of 'Mixed Heath' which occurs widely throughout the site in better drained areas. Other species include gorse Ulex europaeus, western gorse Ulex gallii, bell heather Erica cinerea, tormentil Potentilla erecta and betony Betonica officinalis. 'Tall Heath' is also dominated by Cornish Heath but occurs in poorly drained areas. Black bog-rush Schoenus nigricans and purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea are also found with associated species including tormentil, betony, saw wort Serratula tinctoria, great burnet Sanguisorba officinalis and western gorse. On the more acidic loess deposits a 'Short Heath' community is dominant. This comprises heather, bell heather, western gorse, purple moor-grass, cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix and bristle bent Agrostis curtisii. Good stands of short heath are found on extensive loess deposits on Lizard Downs. Exposures of serpentinite are also important for rare plant species. These occur naturally on the cliff slopes and within the heathland and grassland as a result of quarrying. The bare rock or thin soils typically support land quillwort, autumn squill, hairy greenweed Genista pilosa* and western clover Trifolium occidentale. Pigmy rush Juncus pygmaeus* a very rare plant species found exclusively on the Lizard has been recorded in quarries and cart-tracks. Hayle Kimbro and Ruan Pools provide good wetland habitat in an area of extensive heathland. Hayle Kimbro Pool comprises five oligiotrophic open water bodies varying in size and depth. The largest of the pools retains water even in the driest of years. Ruan Pool is at an advanced stage of hydroseral succession but still retains some open water. Both water bodies support common spike-rush Eleocharis palustris, alternate water-milfoil Myriophyllum alterniflorum, floating club-rush Eleogiton fluitans and pillwort Pilularia globulifera. Hayle Kimbro Pool supports the largest population of lesser water-plaintain Baldellia ranunculoides in Cornwall where the species has a restricted distribution. North of the pool at Ponson Joppa the only population of bog myrtle Myrica gale on the Lizard can be found. Three-lobed crowfoot has been recorded at Ruan Pool. The cliffs and coastal heaths of West Lizard support a large number of rare lower plant species. The bryophytes Gongylanthus ericetorum* and Riccia bifurca* are found in short turf communities. Cephaloziella calyculata* favours short turf dominated by squill. Areas of moist soil between rock outcrops on the cliff tops are colonised by Fossombronia angulosa* and Riccia crozalsii. Many rare lichen species including Nephroma tangeriense* and Parmelia tinctina are also found here. The diverse topography and vegetation of this site also supports a rich invertebrate community. The weevils (Coleoptra) Cathormiocerus britannicus (4), which is endemic to Britain, and Miarus micros (RDB 3 rare*) have been recorded here along with the spiders (Araneae) Porrhoclubiona genevensis (RDB 3 rare*), Lathys stigmatisata (RDB 3 rare*) and Gnaphosa occidentalis (RDB 1 endangered*). There is also a rich assemblage of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) including the endangered white plume moth Pterophorus pentadactyla *. The cliffs and offshore rocks support breeding populations of fulmar Fulmarus glacialis, shag Phalacrocorax aristotelis and jackdaw Coloeus monedula, whilst the inland heaths provide feeding grounds for wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe and peregrine Falco peregrinus. Geology Kynance Cove The Lizard complex consists of a large serpentinised peridotite body, largely underlain by amphibolites and cut by later gabbros, basic dykes and granitic veins. Recent interpretations consider the complex to represent the tectonically juxtaposed remnants of a disrupted ophiolite complex. Kynance Cove provides one of the best and most famous exposures of the Lizard peridotite and includes good examples of the two main varieties. Another conspicuous feature of interest is the presence of granite and gneiss pods in the peridotite. These pods provide important evidence in favour of the ophiolite model, as they are considered to represent incorporation of crustal 'xenoliths' during the obduction of the peridotite. *These plants and insects are included in the Red Data Book listing of rare and endangered species.
