LOWLAND HEATHLAND PHTGeneral DescriptionLowland heathland is characterised by the presence of plants such as heather, dwarf gorses, andcross-leaved heath and is generally found below 300 metres in altitude. Areas of good qualityheathland should consist of an ericaceous layer of varying heights and structures, some areas ofscattered trees and scrub, areas of bare ground, gorse, wet heaths, bogs and open water. Thepresence and numbers of characteristic birds, reptiles, invertebrates, vascular plants, bryophytes andlichens are important indicators of habitat quality.National ContextLowland heathland is a priority for nature conservation because it is a rare and threatened habitat. InEngland only one sixth of the heathland present in 1800 now remains. Britain has some 56 000 ha (58000 ha UK)of lowland heathland of which the largest proportion (55%) is found in England. The mostsignificant areas for lowland heathland include the counties of Hampshire, Cornwall, Dorset, Surrey,Devon, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Pembrokeshire, West Glamorgan and west Gwynedd. Britainhas an important proportion (about 20%) of the international total of this habitat.Area of PHT in Cornwall (ha):
