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

Slieveanorra and Croaghan Merlin, hen harrier Blanket bog, Montane heath This area is of special scientific interest because of its peatland flora and associated fauna. Slieveanorra and Croaghan ASSI is a largely intact blanket bog. The area is characterised by undulating topography and the peatland complex consists of a series of raised bog peat units on deeper peat within an enveloping mantle ofblanket bog. It extends from Slieveanorra Mountain north over Black Hill to Croaghan Mountain. Slieveanorra itself is underlain by Palaeogene age basalts approximately 60 million years old from the Antrim Lava Group. Moving north west, the geology is composed of Dalradian rocks 545 million year old approximately, predominantly metamorphosed mudstones and sandstones of the Southern Highland Group. The continuity of the intact bog has been interrupted in places by roads and adjacent coniferous plantations, resulting in a series of separate compartments within the ASSI. Biological interest relates to the peatland communities and structural features, which are characteristic of largely undisturbed upland habitats. The area includes a well-developed pool system on deep peat, in addition to flat bog plains and adjacent cut-over bog. There is also a mosaic of wet and dry upland heaths where the peats are shallower. The vegetation on the intact bog surface is characterised by bog mosses Sphagnum spp., ericoid dwarf-shrubs and associated species. The composition and abundance of these depends upon local environmental conditions, particularly the height of the water table. Much of the bog plain is dominated by heather Calluna vulgaris, with cross leaved heath Erica tetralix, hare's tail cottongrass Eriophorum vaginatum, crowberry Empetrum nigrum and bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus growing over a mixed moss and liverwort mat. In some places the peat surface is wetter and displays a well-developed microtopography, with prominent red bog moss Sphagnum capillifolium hummocks supporting reindeer lichen Cladonia portentosa, and heath plait moss Hypnum jutlandicum and the liverworts purple spoonwort Pleurozia purpurea and bog moss flapwort Ordontoschisma sphagni. Between these hummocks there are flat, waterlogged lawns with locally abundant bog asphodel Narthecium ossifragum. Other species recorded throughout the intact surface include papillose bog moss Sphagnum papillosum and woolly fringe moss Racomitrium lanuginosum, which can form large hummocks. The summit of Slieveanorra and the northern flanks of the mountain are undergoing extensive erosion resulting in excellent examples of haggs and gullies. A mosaic of wet and dry heaths occurs on the thin peats that occur in these areas. Most notably an area of woolly fringe moss Racomitrium lanuginosum dominated montane heath occurs around the summit of Slieveanorra, with the scarce alpine clubmoss Diphasiastrum alpinum and the rare cowberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea also occurring here. Slieveanorra and Croaghan ASSI incorporates Slieveanorra National Nature Reserve which is comprised of both an area on the summit of Slieveanorra Mountain, which shows the different stages in the formation and erosion and regeneration of peat, and an area of deep peat to the north of Altarichard Road. The later area is a classic example of an upland raised bog, with occasional Austin's bog moss Sphagnum austinii, a notable hummock forming species. The surface is very wet, and along with the peatland compartment to the north west of the Nature Reserve, supports a well developed complex of large, deep pools containing aquatic bog mosses Sphagnum spp., particularly cow horn bog moss Sphagnum denticulatum with occasional feathery bog moss Sphagnum cuspidatum around the periphery. Bogbean Menyanthes trifoliata is also often found within the pools. The vegetation surrounding the pools is comprised of a luxuriant mat of bog mosses Sphagnum spp., predominantly red bog moss Sphagnum capillifolium and Magellanic bog moss Sphagnum magellanicum with both round leaved sundew Drosera rotundifolia and great sundew Drosera anglica. The bog provides important habitat for upland birds particularly merlin Falco columbarius and hen harrier Circus cyaneus. Both of these species currently breed in adjoining areas but use the open moorland for foraging. Slieveanorra and Croaghan ASSI contains vegetation dominated by heather Calluna vulgaris and these areas may support nesting merlin Falco columbarius and hen harrier Circus cyaneus in the future. Additional notable breeding species include snipe Gallinago gallinago, red grouse Lagopus lagopus and raven Corvus corax. Slieveanorra and Croaghan ASSI also provides an extensive area of undisturbed upland habitat that is very valuable for associated invertebrates, birds and mammals. Common lizard Zootoca vivipara has also been recorded on the site. https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/publications/slieveanorra-croaghan-assi
