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 The Cheviot includes a range of upland habitats from valley woodlands, associations of acidic grassland, heathland and blanket bog to montane heath on the summits and including crags and spring features which support rare arctic alpine plants. This site provides the best example of such a suite of upland habitats in Northumberland and supports a typical upland breeding bird community. Some rock features are also of geomorphological importance. The lower valley slopes are characterised by bracken Pteridium aquilinum, grassland in which sheep’s fescue Festuca ovina and common bent Agrostis capillaris are dominant and areas of woodland comprised mainly of alder Alnus glutinosa and downy birch Betula pubescens. Higher on the valley sides there are extensive areas of heather Calluna vulgaris or bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus, heath and mat grass Nardus stricta. The high summit plateau supports a montane heath with bilberry, crowberry Empetrum nigrum, stiff sedge Carex bigelowii, wavy hair grass Deschampsia flexuosa and an abundance of lichens of the genus Cladonia, including reindeer moss C. rangiferina at its only known English locality, as well as Iceland moss Cetraria islandica. Some small areas of heather moor show the prostrate growth form characteristic of exposed situations at high level and in sheltered gullies there are stands of bilberry heath with hard fern Blechnum spicant, broad buckler fern Dryopteris dilatata and dwarf cornel Cornus suecica which indicates the influence of late snow lie on the vegetation. Blanket bogs developed mainly on the high ridges are dominated by hare’s tail cotton grass Eriophorum vaginatum and heather with much bilberry, cowberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea and in places crowberry. Close to the summit the blanket bog also supports the rare bog bilberry Vaccinium uliginosum whilst cloudberry Rubus chamaemorus is widespread and locally abundant. At the Bizzle and Hen Hole outcrops of base rich rock within cliffs of predominantly acidic rock give rise to a contrasting association of plants including several uncommon species such as alpine saw wort Saussurea alpina, alpine scurvy grass Cochlearia alpina, rose root Sedum rosea, limestone bedstraw Galium sterneri and brittle bladder fern Cystopteris fragilis. Tall herbs such as globe flower Trollius europaeus, common valerian Valeriana officinalis and wood cranesbill Geranium sylvaticum occur more widely on ungrazed ledges with base rich soils, while parsley fern Cryptogramma crispa occurs commonly on acidic screes. Starry saxifrage Saxifraga stellaris grows along many mossy springs and seepages where chickweed willowherb Epilobium alsinifolium, alpine willowherb Epilobium anagallidifolium and, rarely, hairy stonecrop Sedum villosum are also found on higher ground. The Cheviot has a varied upland breeding bird fauna which reflects the diversity of habitats; redstart and tree pipit frequent the woodlands, ring ouzel and wheatear occur on rocky hillsides whilst golden plover breed on the higher blanket bogs. The Standrop, Langlee, Housey and Long Crags are interesting examples of tors in both granite and andesite bedrock within a glaciated area. Together with associated periglacial features and deeply weathered bedrock in the Cheviot Hills they are important for interpreting the geomorphological evolution of the Cheviot landscape. Other Information 1. This site is described in 'A Nature Conservation Review', D A Ratcliffe, Cambridge University Press, 1977. 2. During the 1989 revision the boundary of this site has been amended to exclude some land previously notified* and to include land not previously notified. 3. Part of this site is identified as of national importance in the Geological Conservation Review. * Under Section 23 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, 1949.
