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.

Description

Area, 25.2 ha. 62.2 ac. Description This site, which lies over Sandgate Beds and Lower Greensand, supports a range of heathland habitats including both wet and dry heath, grassland, scrub and woodland. The woodland carries a rich community of breeding birds. The area of heathland in Britain has declined in recent years largely as a result of agricultural improvement and the encroachment of woodland onto neglected heaths. On Sullington Warren the majority of the heathland is dry heath, but there is also a small area of wet heath which increases the species interest of the site. Several unusual plants and invertebrates are associated with these wet and dry heath communities. The remaining area on this site is comprised of scrub and bracken which forms dense stands in places; set natural woodland, which has a very varied age structure and composition and two small areas of grassland, one of which is predominantly wet. The dry heath consists of heather Calluna vulgaris with bell heather Erica cinerea, dwarf gorse Ulex minor, bracken Pteridium aquilinum and the lichen Cladonia impexa. Areas of wet heath are dominated by heather, cross leaved heath Erica tetralix and purple moor grass Molinia caerulea. This wet heath supports several notable plants including the insectivorous round leaved sundew Drosera rotundifolia and hare’s tail cotton grass Eriophorum vaginatum. A scattered scrub of gorse Ulex europaeus and broom Cytisus scoparius with regenerating silver birch Betula pendula and Scot's pine Pinus sylvestris occurs on parts of the heath. This area of scrub supports a varied invertebrate fauna and two invertebrate groups well represented here are the Aculeate Hymenoptera bees, ants and wasps and Coleoptera beetles. Of particular interest is a locally uncommon beetle Exapion fuscirostre which lives specifically on broom and has been recorded at this site. An area of dry grassland known as ‘the lawn’ occurs in the centre – west of the site and supports a variety of species typical of neutral grasslands. The dominant grasses are sweet vernal grass Anthoxanthum odoratum, yellow oat grass Trisetum flavescens and smaller cat’s tail Phleum pratense ssp. bertoloni which occur together with such plants as wild thyme Thymus praecox and white clover Trifolium repens. Seven of the eight tumuli which occur at this site surround this open grassland area. The small area of marshy grassland which is adjacent to the wet heath consists of tussocky purple moor grass and some species of Sphagnum moss together with patches of cross leaved heath. Woodland which surrounds the open heath and grassland habitats is varied, but three basic types can be discerned; a scrub woodland of birch and pedunculate oak Quercus robur; and area of Scot’s pine, frequently in association with birch and an area of mature oak woodland which occurs on the outer margins of the site and includes a small patch of coppiced hazel Corylus avellana in the northeast corner. Other species which occur less frequently include ash Fraxinus excelsior, holly Ilex aquifolium, rowan Sorbus aucuparia and the shrub alder buckthorn Frangula alnus. The woodland ground flora is rather impoverished, particularly where pine is the dominant species and consists primarily of bracken. However, beneath more mature oak woodland species such as bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta and wood millet Milium effusum occur, whilst heathland plants, including heather and bell heather, comprise the ground flora under the younger birch/oak woodland. A variety of birds breed in the woodland, including kestrel, nightingale, tree creeper, long tailed tit, nuthatch and all three British woodpecker.
