Lichen habitat index - Heathland, Moorland & Coastal Heath Index (HMCHI)
Description
The Cetraria, Cladonia and Pycnothelia (CCP) index developed for southern England heathland has been augmented to cover all non-montane heaths, including non-montane moorland, coastal heathland, acid dunes and comparable habitats. For hard rock coasts and associated grassland communities, use Maritime Rock and Coastal Slope Index.
The index should be applied to a heathland or moorland area of about 100ha. For example, a site supporting 23 Cladonia taxa, two Cetraria taxa, Pycnothelia papillaria and Leptogium palmatum, would score 27.
