England Peat Map Peaty Soil Extent Probability

The England Peat Map is a map of England's peaty soils. It models the extent, depth, and condition of our peat including vegetation and upland peat erosion & drainage features (grips, gullies, bare peat and peat hagging). The map and, where possible, the associated data, are available openly and free to use for any purpose. This map is funded by the Nature for Climate Fund and the Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) programme, both part of the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The map layers were created using machine learning and deep learning modelling techniques, trained with pre-existing survey data collated from Defra organisations and other stakeholders, as well as new survey data collected by contractors and quality-assured by an in-house team. Predictor data used in the modelling process included national-scale satellite imagery, topographic LiDAR, geological and historic land-use data. Data collated from multiple sources and collated by the England Peat Map project. See [NERR149 England Peat Map Final Report Annex 5] for more information. Peaty soil is defined as soil with an organic content of 20% or more. This layer maps the probability of peaty soil occurring on a 10m by 10m square basis, as modelled by the England Peat Map project. See [NERR149 England Peat Map Final Report, Natural England, 2025].

Purple Horizons - Peatland Opportunities Nature Recovery Map

This is a spatial dataset that describes the geographic extent of the different types of peatland restoration opportunities in the Purple Horizons Nature Recovery Area, identified using a combination of soil, habitat and land use data. Identified within the dataset are the following opportunity types: * PRIH = Priority Habitat * ASSH = Associated Habitat * REST = Restorable Habitat * PRO1 = Peatland Restoration Opportunity 1 * PRO2 = Peatland Restoration Opportunity 2 * SEAR = Secondary Enhancement Areas For definitions of these areas please see the following report: Peatland Opportunity Mapping in the Purple Horizons Nature Recovery Area. Identifying areas of peatland restoration potential within this crucial section between Cannock Chase and Sutton Park will help support a mosaic of habitats to help nature recovery and species resilience whilst supporting climate change adaptations through carbon sequestration. A number of information sources and data layers were used to produce this layer. The Primary, Associated and Restorable habitat polygons were produced based on habitat and species data held by EcoRecord and SER to complement NE priority habitat inventory data. Natural England have a 3rd party licence from EcoRecord and Staffordshire Ecological Record to use the data from their records, where they have used data to inform the final dataset. Woodland Creation Opportunity areas were identified based on a number of environmental criteria including historic land use, habitats, and soils.

Purple Horizons - Woodland Opportunities Nature Recovery Map

The woodland creation opportunity areas identified using this approach provide the best, most current, evidence base and can be used as a decision tool to help to direct woodland creation at the landscape scale, within the Purple Horizon Nature Recovery Project area, helping to make the landscape and its habitats, bigger, better and more joined up. Through the identification of these areas as those most suitable for woodland creation.

National Seagrass Layer (England) - Current Extent

Overview Natural England and the Environment Agency have collaborated to produce a seagrass layer for English waters, which aims to provide a comprehensive geospatial dataset of surveys of both current and historical spatial seagrass. These layer identify current seagrass extent, using the best and most recent available evidence. The National Seagrass Layer is comprised of datasets collected or commissioned by Natural England and the Environment Agency, collected by Defra and associated bodies/agencies, or provided by third parties that have allowed their data to be republished under the Open Government Licence (OGL). Caveats There are two genera of seagrass present in English waters: Ruppia sp. and Zostera sp. Commonly the use of ‘seagrass’ only refers to Zostera sp. (also known as Eelgrass). However, this dataset includes both Ruppia sp. and Zostera sp. If using the layer file, Ruppia sp. are identified by differing symbology. In the raw attribute data, Ruppia sp. and Zostera sp. can be distinguished using the EUNIS codes in the HAB_TYPE field. Seagrass data is only available where and when surveys have been carried out. Therefore, absence of seagrass in a specific year does not necessarily indicate that seagrass was not present, it may simply mean that no survey was completed that year. Similarly, there may be locations where seagrass is present, but has not been surveyed, and therefore is not represented in this dataset, such as the Medway Estuary. The seagrass layer only includes polygon data. There may be additional seagrass habitats which only have point data available, these are not included in the seagrass layer. Identified polygon extents may be affected by survey method. For example, a walking survey may not collect data below a certain depth, and a DDV survey from a boat may not collect data above a certain depth. A survey method field is included in the data, to ensure this can be accounted for. As data is collected from/using a variety of sources and methods the accuracy of the data varies. A data confidence field is supplied to provide an indication of confidence in the data accuracy. Confidence categories are assigned based on expert judgement and local knowledge. Some historical data has a particularly low confidence and may be assigned with a category of ‘presence only’. Polygons with this confidence should only be used to identify previous seagrass presence, they should not be used to identify previous seagrass extent.
