Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Monitoring: European Dry Heath, Northern Atlantic Wet Heath and Blanket Bog monitoring at Migneint-Arenig-Dduallt SAC
Special Area of Conservation (SAC) monitoring is undertaken at the Migneint-Arenig-Dduallt SAC in order to assess the condition of the three designated Annex I habitats present. Data for monitoring cycles 2006 and 2012 is available. The purpose of this data capture is to assess the condition of European Dry Heath, Northern Atlantic Wet Heath and Blanket Bog habitats within the Migneint-Arenig-Dduallt SAC.

Fieldwork was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, stands of Blanket Bog (H7130), North Atlantic Wet Heath with Erica tetralix (H4010) and European Dry Heath (H4030) within selected management units were mapped and assigned to a series of discrete condition classes. In the second phase, a series of monitoring plots were established in each of the targeted Annex I habitats. These consisted of regular rectangular grids with equally spaced sampling points. The plots serve the purpose of assessing whether the sampled vegetation currently meets condition targets in relation to a selected set of performance criteria, and also will serve to assist in long-term monitoring of changes in the habitat condition. At each sample point the broad habitat type was established and the condition of the surrounding habitat was assessed (within a 1m or 5m radius) against a series of attributes and attribute targets. Each location was captured using a GPS. This data was converted to MapInfo GIS. Thirteen sample plots were established and monitored in 2005, these were re-monitored with an additional 2 plots in 2012.
