fungal fruiting bodies (ISIS)
Current ISIS code: A213
Previous assemblage name: A2 wood decay
Linked assemblage: Often in association with the other saproxylic assemblages A211 heartwood decay, and A212 bark & sapwood decay.
SAT
exposed sea-cliff
Current ISIS code: F113
Previous assemblage name: F131 & F132
Linked assemblage: F111 bare sand & chalk & F112 open short sward; it is possibly a sub-community of either SAT, and has a small group of marker species.
Description of habitat typically supporting the assemblage:
northern lakes & lochs
Current ISIS code: W212
Previous assemblage name: W222 northern lakes & lochs.
Linked assemblage: None.
Description of habitat typically supporting the assemblage:
montane & upland
Current ISIS code: F221
Previous assemblage name: n/a
Linked assemblage: n/a
Description of habitat typically supporting the assemblage: This assemblage type is characterised by a several invertebrate groups, but especially beetles and spiders.
reed-fen & pools
Current ISIS code: W314
Previous assemblage name: W122, or W314 rich fen.
Linked assemblage: W313 mesotrophic fen
Description of habitat typically supporting the assemblage: This assemblage type is characterised by a number of groups, but especially two-winged flies and beetles.
moss & tussock fen
Current ISIS code: W313
Previous assemblage name: W125 tussock fens with moss edges.
Linked assemblage: W314 reed-fen & pools.
Description of habitat typically supporting the assemblage: This assemblage type is mainly characterised by water beetles, but also by terrestrial beetles and two-winged flies.
Sphagnum bog
Current ISIS code: W312
Previous assemblage name: W312 acid mire, W145 neutral/acid seepages, & W112 poor fens.
Linked assemblage: n/a
Description of habitat typically supporting the assemblage: This assemblage type is characterised by a large number of species from a variety of taxonomic groups.
open water in acid mire
Current ISIS code: W311
Previous assemblage name: W111 water bodies in acid mire matrix.
Linked assemblage: W312 Sphagnum bog, or F221 montane & upland.
Description of habitat typically supporting the assemblage: This aquatic, predominantly upland SAT was reviewed in 2008. It is probably be sensitive to nutrient enrichment and temperature rise.
undisturbed fluctuating marsh
Current ISIS code: W221
Previous assemblage name: W212 undisturbed fluctuating wetlands.
Linked assemblage: n/a
Description of habitat typically supporting the assemblage: This assemblage type is mainly characterised by ground-living beetles.
open water on disturbed mineral sediments
Current ISIS code: F002
Previous assemblage name: None. It was established in 2008 as a cross-cutting assemblage.
Linked assemblage: Frequently present with F112 open short sward, although it can turn up in F111 bare sand & chalk, especially in brownfield areas.
