Hot Habitats in Britain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2009
Abstract
Britain has a mainly temperate climate, but there are some hot habitats, such as sand dunes, heathlands and shallow-water areas, which may be vital to the survival of certain species – Dartford warbler, sand lizard, natterjack toad are examples. The author suggests it is therefore vital to conserve extensive examples of these habitats to preserve the wildlife that depends on them. Unfortunately they are habitats that have suffered considerable destruction.
