Climate exposure

This is about exposure to a nationwide pressure this habitat type carries — not a verdict on this site's own management.

Coastal

Coastal habitats are exposed to sea-level rise and storm erosion. Where hard sea defences sit behind them, there's nowhere landward to retreat to — a squeeze that keeps compressing the habitat no matter how well it's managed.

Description

Description Afon Rheidol ger Capel Bangor is of special interest for both its fluvial geomorphological and biological features. The site comprises three discrete areas, the largest of which is located 0.5km south-west of Capel Bangor, near Aberystwyth. This area includes a 1.7km stretch of the Afon Rheidol together with parts of the adjacent floodplain, and is notable for its terraces, associated fluvial landforms and sedimentary units. This areas also includes a mosaic of riverside habitats, including rare 'shingle heath' communities. Two further areas of shingle heath, referred to as Nant-yr-onnen and Aberffrwd, are located at distances of approximately 3.2km and 5.2km upstream of the area of fluvial interest. A nationally important assemblage of invertebrates is associated with the unstable river gravels. Geomorphology The Afon Rheidol at Capel Bangor is important for extensive aluvial terraces of Late Devensian and Holocene age. The area is exceptional in showing well-preserved, thick successions of glacial and alluvial sediments including fine terraced valley fills of coarse sediments. Studies of the sedimentary properties of the fills have revealed the patterns of deposition during the Late Devensian and Holocene, including the anthropogenic effects of mining activity. The Rheidol therefore provides good morphostratigraphic evidence of the response and recovery of a drainage basin to glaciation. Biology The meandering of the river has led to the deposition of shingle on which has developed a mosaic of habitats, from unstable shingle beach communities to grassland, heathland and scrub. The vegetation communities tend to occur in bands, reflecting a series of shingle ridges and depressions marking the former course of the river. The ecological setting and types of heathland communities which have developed on the shingle of the rivers Rheidol and Ystwyth are highly distinctive and very unusual in Southern Britain; the only known examples showing any close similarity are found in central and northern Scotland. They are characterised by the presence of heather Calluna vulgaris, with wavy hair-grass Deschampsia flexuosa, purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea, sheep's-fescue Festuca ovina, sheep's-bit Jasione montana and English stonecrop Sedum anglicum. In the more grassy areas, common bent Agrostis capillaris and sweet vernal-grass Anthoxanthum odoratum are common, and on larger pebbles and riverside gravels, sheep's sorrel Rumex acetosella is frequent. Some of the communities support a rich and extensive cover of mosses and lichens, with such species as Pleurozium schreberi moss and prominent clumps of Cladonia lichens in places. At Nant-yr-onnen, there is a smaller patch of heath where western gorse Ulex gallii is prominent, and there are strips of vegetation in which great wood-rush Luzula sylvatica is dominant. Tree regeneration in these communities is probably restricted by the nutrient-poor, porous substrate and its high metal content as a result of past mining activity in the valley. The metal-tolerant sea campion Silene uniflora is an unusual feature of these heathland communities. Gorse Ulex europaeus is common on this site, and in places forms thick bands of scrub, with occasional broom Cytisus scoparius. Present also are swamp, with reed canary-grass Phalaris arundinacea, and marshy grassland and backwaters with such species as purple moor-grass, floating sweet-grass Glyceria fluitans, yellow iris Iris pseudacorus and meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria. Grassland containing false oat grass Arrhenatherum elatius occurs on some of the less stable shingle banks. At the north-western corner of the site, an area known as Dolcniw, a damp scrub-woodland of grey willow Salix cinerea and alder Alnus glutinosa has developed alongside the Afon Melindwr. Elsewhere, sessile oak Quercus petraea and ash Fraxinus excelsior woodland covers old river terraces. Slow-flowing and well vegetated ditches, an increasingly scarce habitat in Ceredigion, flow into the Afon Melindwr. The unstable river shingle supports a nationally-important assemblage of invertebrate species. Four Red Data Book species have been recorded: the beetles, Lionychus quadrillum, Bidessus minutissimus,and the five-spot ladybird, Coccinella quinquepunctata, and a fly, Spiriverpa lunulata. A nationally scarce species of beetle Erichsonius signaticornis and a nationally scarce spider Arctosa cinerea are also associated with the unstable gravels. A fifth Red Data Book species, weevil Apion rubiginosum, breeds on sheep's sorrel on the shingle heath, and a further four nationally scarce species occur in the wetland habitats at Dolcniw. A large colony of sand martin is found on the tallest of the river cliffs, with smaller numbers occupying low, unstable cliffs elsewhere on the site.
