nests |
Species associated with the nests of other animals; may be further subdivided into types of nest (of vertebrates or other invertebrates). |
resource |
neutral/acid seepage |
Seepages from more pH neutral or acidic aquifers, such as the sandstones or shales. It will be influenced by the local soils and vegetation. |

old |
Species that is associated with old foliage leaves or stems (mature or starting to wither or decay). |
resource |
on ground in fruits |
A largely arboreal species that is associated with fruits on the ground for part of its life-cycle. |
resource |
open habitats |
Open vegetative grassland swards, dwarf herb communities and open, bare ground not associated with woodland closed canopies. Soils can be dry to damp, but are not generally permanently wet. |
broad biotope |
open short sward |
This assemblages occurs in poached short sward grassland, especially calcareous grassland, but not in uniform, dense sward grassland where moist conditions prevail at ground level. |
SAT |
open water in acid mire |
The assemblage type is found in lochans and temporary peat pools mainly in upland areas, but also at lower altitudes in northern districts. |
SAT |
open water on disturbed mineral sediments |
Its natural habitats probably include coastal marshes and large river floodplains subject to periodic heavy flooding events, but it is also dominant in gravel pits and quarry pools and is one of the few assemblages to benefit from large scale anthropogenic disturbance. |
SAT |
parasite |
An organism which lives in or on another organism (its host) and derives nutrients from it. |
label |
peatland |
Wetlands where disturbance is limited, although levels of environmental stress may be high as in some upland examples. In large open-water bodies, it is confined to well-vegetated margins, but it is particularly characteristic of mires and seepages which may have little open water, but which remain permanently wet. Water level fluctuations are not usually significant or at least, when they do occur, the substrate rarely dries out completely. Consequently this assemblage type is dominant on wet peat. They have often been in longer existence than mineral marsh habitats. |
