Botanical
Built for a botanical survey or NVC walkover: every priority grassland, heathland and the Botanical Value Map, with SSSI and ancient woodland for context. These are the habitats where the species list is the point: unimproved calcareous and acid grassland, lowland meadows, upland hay meadows, purple moor grass and rush pasture, and the heaths. Turn it on before a site visit to see which compartments deserve the most time on the ground.
Upland
Moorland and the high ground: blanket bog, upland heath, mountain heaths and willow scrub, upland calcareous grassland, hay meadows and flushes, with the Moorland Change Map and the non-priority grass moorland and fragmented heath layers so you can see what has been lost as well as what remains. National Parks and CRoW access land are on because most upland work happens inside one or both.
