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 Holly Rock Fields SSSI is a nationally important site for its lowland species rich neutral grassland. The grassland consists mainly of the nationally scarce National Vegetation Classification NVC type MG5 crested dog’s tail Cynosurus cristatus – common knapweed Centaurea nigra grassland. General description Holly Rock Fields consists of four floristically diverse small fields managed as pasture and meadow, situated approximately 11 kilometres north west of Leicester, near the town of Coalville. The fields are bordered by fences, hedgerows and stone walls. The site comprises of lowland species rich neutral grassland on soils derived from the clays of the Triassic Keuper Marl. The fields have not undergone any agricultural intensification which, combined with differences in local topography, drainage and historical management, has resulted in a sward that has a rich and varied floral composition within and between fields across the SSSI. This contrasts with surrounding land which mainly consists of improved and semi improved pasture/meadow, urban fringe and remnant heathland. The site supports a varied sward dominated by four grass species and several other grass species at lower abundances. The dominant species are common bent Agrostis capillaris, sweet vernal grass Anthoxanthum odoratum, red fescue Festuca rubra and Yorkshire fog Holcus lanatus. The less abundant species include downy oat grass Avenula pubescens, quaking grass Briza media, crested dog’s tail Cynosurus cristatus, cock’s foot Dactylis glomerata, heath grass Danthonia decumbens, sheep’s fescue Festuca ovina and yellow oat grass Trisetum flavescens. Broadleaved herbs, including common knapweed Centaurea nigra, common bird’s foot trefoil Lotus corniculatus, ribwort plantain Plantago lanceolata, meadow buttercup Ranunculus acris and common sorrel Rumex acetosa, are common and widespread across the site. Other characteristic neutral grassland species are also well represented but are less widespread, although still typically occurring in two or three of the four fields. These include spring sedge Carex caryophyllea, pignut Conopodium majus, cat's ear Hypochaeris radicata, autumn hawkbit Scorzoneroides autumnalis, oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare, field wood rush Luzula campestris, tormentil Potentilla erecta, selfheal Prunella vulgaris, bulbous buttercup Ranunculus bulbosus, betony Betonica officinalis and red clover Trifolium pratense. In places the diversity of the sward is enhanced by the presence of species that are typically characteristic of dry acidic grassland, such as harebell Campanula rotundifolia, eyebright Euphrasia officinalis agg., heath bedstraw Galium saxatile, mat grass Nardus stricta and heath milkwort Polygala serpyllifolia. There are also wet flushes and areas which are poorly drained where localised transitions occur between dry species rich neutral grassland, wet grassland and mire. In particular, these areas support a rich sedge flora including green ribbed sedge Carex binervis, spring sedge Carex caryophyllea, glaucous sedge Carex flacca, common sedge C. nigra, oval sedge Carex leporina, pale sedge C. pallescens, carnation sedge C. panicea, pill sedge Carex pilulifera and common yellow sedge Carex viridula subsp. Oedocarpa, as well as bristle club rush Isolepis setacea, cuckoo-flower Cardamine pratensis, purple moor grass Molinia caerulea, jointed rush Juncus articulatus, compact rush J. conglomerata, greater bird's foot trefoil Lotus pedunculatus and tufted hair grass Deschampsia cespitosa.
