In these presets
Wetland
Bog, fen, reedbed, marsh and open water. Blanket and raised bog, lowland fens, reedbeds, upland flushes, priority ponds and lakes, coastal and floodplain grazing marsh, and chalk rivers: with Ramsar sites and nutrient neutrality catchments, because on a wetland site the hydrology and the nutrient budget are usually the same conversation.
Species
Protected species and licensing context: great crested newt licence survey returns and eDNA pond results, priority ponds, the Botanical Value Map, SSSI units with their condition assessments, and SSSI Impact Risk Zones: the layer that tells you whether Natural England must be consulted on a planning application. Note that these are records of where people have looked, not a map of where the species are: an empty area may only mean nobody has surveyed it.
