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

COILLE COIRE CHUILC Coille Coire Chuilc SSSI, located approximately 2 km south of Tyndrum, is an extensive southerly remnant of the ancient Caledonian Pinewood which once covered much of northern Scotland and is one of only two remaining ancient pinewoods in the Stirling District. Early fragmentation of the original Caledonian wood has resulted in the isolation of Coille Coire Chuilc from other native pinewoods and the consequent development of a unique genetic structure. The ancient pinewood also supports a rich invertebrate fauna including several rare fly and beetle species. The pinewood has a north-easterly exposure and the underlying dumped glacial materials form an undulating ground topography. Scots pine Pinus sylvestris ssp scotica is dominant on the drier knolls with heathland ground communities comprising mainly ling Calluna vulgaris, cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix and bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus. The flat hollows and lower slopes between the knolls are covered by acidic mire communities in which purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea, bog asphodel Narthecium ossifragum and sedges Carex species are common, with a very high ground cover of mosses, notably the bog-mosses Sphagnum species. Where water movement occurs stands of bog myrtle Myrica gale are found. The ancient pinewood supports a rich invertebrate fauna which is particularly notable for the abundance of rare fly and beetle species. The SSSI supports one red data book (Pityophthorus lichtensteini) and 11 nationally scarce beetle species. The site also supports five red data book (Scoliocentra scutellaris, Platycheirus melanopsis, Chamaesyrphus scaevoides, Tipula limbata and Fannia umbratica) and 7 nationally scarce fly species. Many of these are restricted to pinewood habitat and are therefore dependant on its continuation for their survival. The rare wood ant Formica aquilonia is also present within the SSSI.
