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

Clermont and Anglesey Mountain Dry heath Clermont and Anglesey Mountain is on the Armagh – Louth border, 9km south of Newry. It encompasses the northern edge of the uplands that run the length of the Cooley Peninsula. The geology of the Clermont and Anglesey Mountain area forms part of the Slieve Gullion and associated Ring Dyke systems. The geology of the site is quite complex, with the northern one-third underlain by felsite while the southern two-thirds is underlain by younger fine-grained granites. All of these are igneous rocks formed from cooling molten magma. The felsite forms part of the ring-dyke for which the Slieve Gullion area is renowned. This rock is the older of the two elements which make up the ring dyke and was intruded into a major pre-existing fracture. The younger granite dates from the final part of the Slieve Gullion story when it was intruded into the south-eastern part of the complex. The northern part of the site also has a younger dolerite dyke intrusion present, a near-vertical sheet intruded as molten magma into the somewhat older felsite. All of these rocks date from the Palaeogene period and are some 57 million years old. The soils within the site are a shallow and primitive type, known as humic rankers. They are typically free-draining and support thin, skeletal peat. The area is of special scientific interest because of its heathland vegetation, in addition to its associated plant and animal species. Complex patterns of dry and wet heath with associated habitats form a mosaic of vegetation within a varied topography. The heathland communities are very variable and depend upon local environmental conditions. They exhibit a well defined altitudinal sequence from lowland through to upland heath. Transitional communities throughout this gradation contribute to the overall interest of the area. Below 250m in height the heath is often characterised by the abundance of western gorse Ulex gallii. This type of vegetation is generally restricted to the warm, oceanic regions of lowland Britain, and its occurrence so far north is notable. This heath gives way upslope to vegetation in which heather Calluna vulgaris and bell heather Erica cinerea are the dominant species, forming the most widespread heath community on Clermont and Anglesey Mountain. At higher altitudes, transitional communities with species such as bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus occur. On the lower slopes and in hollows the damp microclimate allows wet heaths to develop. This community is dominated by the prominence of cross leaved heath Erica tetralix, common cottongrass Eriophorum angustifolium, bog asphodel Narthecium ossigfragum and sphagnum bog-mosses. Some of the slopes are flushed by mineral rich waters and are characterised by sedges such as dioecious sedge Carex dioica and common yellow sedge Carex viridula with herbs such as devils-bit scabious Succisa pratensis. https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/publications/clermont-anglesey-mountain-assi
