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 Bolton Fell and Walton Mosses SSSI is of special interest for its nationally important, lowland raised peat bog habitat and associated vegetation communities, including the surrounding ‘lagg’ zones where waters from surrounding mineral ground mix with rain derived run off from the bog; and peat sequences dating back to the Early Holocene containing evidence for variations in climate and cultural change over time through their pollen records, dated via radio-carbon analysis. General description Bolton Fell and Walton Mosses is situated on a relatively flat area between tributaries of the River Irthing and the River Lyne, eight kilometres west of Brampton at 110 metres above sea level. The site includes Bolton Fell, Moss View Moss, Walton Moss, Broomhill Moss, The Flosh, The Breaks and Little Moss. The peat deposits across the site range up to approximately 11 metres in depth, overlying Devensian glacial deposits. Lowland raised bog Lowland raised bogs depend for their growth on an active layer of bog mosses Sphagnum species on the bog surface. These mosses are rainwater fed ombrotrophic and grow slowly upwards, with their remains forming the peat deposit. Over the centuries, the whole peat body grows and typically produces a domed surface. Many raised bogs have been badly damaged by burning or drainage works. There have also been dramatic reductions in the area of raised bogs in Britain caused by peat extraction, afforestation and agriculture. The actively growing nature of parts of the bogs, restoration potential of degraded areas and overall extent of the lowland raised bog at Bolton Fell and Walton Mosses make it particularly important, nationally and internationally. Peat has been commercially extracted from the Bolton Fell site since 1959 and although now ceased, these peat workings extended over much of the area. Significant areas of raised bog habitat remain where peat has not been extracted. The bare intervening peat within the site is part of the raised bog and is critical to the long term sustainability and resilience of the remaining areas of active bog and in the restoration of active raised bog within each peat body and across the complex of peat bogs that make up the site. Re wetting and restoration of active peat forming vegetation in these areas will address oxidation and peat loss. The other areas of the site comprise degraded bog, areas of vegetation typical of active bog communities, wet heath and also peripheral vegetation analogous to lagg communities. Walton Moss supports the rarer intermediate bog habitat, which shares features of both raised and blanket bog. Such bogs are described as ‘semi confined’, in the sense that they have escaped the confines of the basin in which they originally formed and spread a blanket of peat across parts of the surrounding landscape. There is no obvious lagg at the edge of these bogs since the peat tails off into progressively thinner organo mineral soils. The majority of Walton Moss is dominated by bog mosses but there are also areas of degraded bog with purple moor grass Molinia caerulea, hare’s tail cotton grass Eriophorum vaginatum and rush Juncus species predominating. The north west part of Bolton Fell Moss, Moss View Moss, Walton Moss, Broomhill Moss and the Flosh, support active raised bog comprising a rich carpet of bog mosses, cross leaved heath Erica tetralix and hare’s tail cotton grass, with heather Calluna vulgaris and an unusual abundance of crowberry Empetrum nigrum. Other typical species include round leaved sundew Drosera rotundifolia, common cotton grass Eriophorum angustifolium and cranberry Vaccinium oxycoccos occurring amongst the ‘lawns’ of the bog mosses papillose bog moss Sphagnum papillosum, blunt leaved bog moss S. palustre, magellanic bog moss Sphagnum magellanicum, soft bog moss S. tenellum, lustrous bog moss S. subnitens, red bog moss S. capillifolium, S. recurvum and feathery bog moss Sphagnum cuspidatum. More rarely, white beak sedge Rhynchospora alba, bog rosemary Andromeda polifolia and oblong leaved sundew Drosera intermedia also occur. Peripheral drainage has affected some of the communities and has increased fluctuation of the water table, demonstrating the hydrological interdependence on the larger peat body. This has allowed mosses such as bog groove moss Aulacomnium palustre, common haircap Polytrichum commune and red stemmed feather moss Pleurozium schreberi to replace some of the bog mosses and led to an increase in heather and purple moor grass and permitted the spread of downy birch Betula pubescens and Scot's pine Pinus sylvestris in some areas. The majority of Bolton Fell has been commercially milled for peat. This process does not allow vegetation to re establish itself between cuts unlike the previous block cutting method which allows an impoverished wet heath flora to establish. Nonetheless, areas where milling has ceased are showing some early signs of recovery, supporting peat land vegetation such as cotton grasses. Similar wet and dry heath communities remain on the edge of the site where the peat is uncut but the hydrology has been compromised owing to adjacent drainage and peat extraction. The vegetation of some parts of Broomhill Moss, The Breaks and Little Moss has been significantly modified by past drainage, peat removal and/or burning. The resulting communities have much less cover of bog mosses and are dominated by purple moor grass, hare’s tail cotton grass, or, in places, by soft rush Juncus effusus and jointed rush J. articulatus. On the periphery of the mosses piecemeal peat cutting by hand has led to a mosaic of boggy hollows, some of which resemble the vegetation on the intact part of the moss, whilst others comprise vegetation dominated by purple moor grass or soft rush. There are a few areas of wet woodland with either downy birch and purple moor grass or willow Salix species. These types of grassland and woodland are representative of the edge or lagg community which, under more natural conditions, would be expected to occupy the boundary between raised bog and the wet flushed mineral ground. In some areas, due to agricultural activities, these vegetation types have now regressed more towards the bog centre than would have been the case under natural conditions. Where the edges of the bog have been affected by peripheral drainage they are dry for much of the year and have consequently been invaded by downy birch, Scot's pine and rowan Sorbus aucuparia. The ground flora within these scrubby woodlands is dominated by tussocky purple moor grass, bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus, bracken Pteridium aquilinum, broad buckler fern Dryopteris dilatata, heath bedstraw Galium saxatile and hummocks of the mosses Sphagnum fallax, blunt leaved bog moss S. palustre and common haircap Polytrichum commune. Geology The layers of peat laid down during the Holocene provide an irreplaceable record of vegetation change in the area, which is invaluable for palaeoecological research. Both Bolton Fell and Walton Moss have provided a wealth of high resolution palaeoenvironmental records, significantly contributing to our understanding of past ecological and climatic change as well as human impact in the landscape of northern Britain and further afield. Bolton Fell Moss is an internationally important stratigraphic site comprising an ombrotrophic rain fed bog sequence dating back to the Early Holocene. Walton Moss is arguably the most intact ombrotrophic bog in England and is also of great importance for its record of natural and cultural change dating from the Early Holocene.
