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

Description This site is notified for a series of shallow acid ponds and associated mire, which support a rich assemblage of dragonfly and damselfly and rotationally felled conifer plantation, which provides habitat for internationally important populations of nightjar, woodlark and Dartford warbler. General Description Bramshill comprises extensive areas of conifer plantation together with a series of shallow acidic ponds within relic wet heathland and a small unimproved grassland area adjacent which provides habitat for the nationally rare small fleabane Pulicaria vulgaris. Management of the pine plantations results in a sequence of clearings and young coniferous trees which are utilised by breeding nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus, woodlark Lullula arborea and Dartford warbler Sylvia undata. The site also contains small breeding populations of hobby Falco subbuteo and little ringed plover Charadrius dubius The pond areas differ in character, the northern and middle areas occupying former gravel workings, whilst the southern series occupies a damp valley and was formed by damming a small acidic stream. The areas of open water are dominated by bog pondweed Potamogeton polygonifolius and very large populations of the nationally scarce pillworth Pilularia globulifera. The shallow, often exposed margins have a rich flora dominated by soft rush Juncus effusus, compact rush J. conglomerates, lesser spearwort Ranunculus flammula and reed mace Typha latifolia. Nationally scarce plants occurring here include the needle spikerush Eliocharis acicularis, six stamened waterwort Elatine hexandra and small water pepper Persicaria minor. Within the plantations there are a few small areas of wet heath dominated by purple moor grass Molinia caerulea, wet heathland with cross leaved heath Erica tetralix and fragments of dry heathland with heather Calluna vulgaris. Locally uncommon plants present include petty whin Genista anglica and small cudweed Logfia minima, together with stag’s horn clubmoss Lycopodium clavatum at its only Hampshire location. Heath communities are present alongside forest tracks and briefly recolonise after forestry clearance operations, before the tree cover closes over again following planting. Yellow bartisia Parentucellia viscosa is found along some woodland rides. The acidic ponds are fed by the surrounding heathland and are generally clear and free of pollution. At least 24 species of dragonfly and damselfly have been recorded breeding out of a total of 37 resident in Britain. The occurrence of the nationally scarce small red damselfly Ceriagrion tenellum¸ downy emerald Cordulia aenea and brilliant emerald Somatochlora metallica are of particular note. The open water and heathland areas are also important for other invertebrates, including the nationally scarce horsefly Tabanus cordiger, woodland grasshopper Omocestus rufipes and a colony of the shortwinged conehead Conocephalus dorsalis. Two umimproved grassland fields close to Springwater Farm lie adjacent to the northern plantation at Bramshill. Extensive grazing has created habitat for a population of the nationally rare small fleabane Pulicaria vulgaris, which is also vulnerable in a European context. This is the only site in Hampshire which supports this plant, outside the New Forest. Other Information 1. This site incorporates two areas previously notified as Bramshill SSSI and Warren Heath Ponds SSSI with extensions to incorporate coniferous plantation which providehabitat for Annex I birds. 2. This site includes land which has been proposed for designation as a Special Protection Area under Directive 79/409/ EEC on the Conservation of Wild Birds. Nightjar, woodlark and Dartford warbler are listed on Annex 1 of the Directive. 3. Woodlark and nightjar are priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. 4. Woodlark, Dartford warbler, hobby and little ringed plover are specially protected by being listed on Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as amended. 5. Small fleabane is a Red Data book species listed on Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
