NVC survey of Thompson Water

Thompson Common

WFE undertook NVC survey of Thompson Water, Carr and Common SSSI in Norfolk on behalf of Natural England as part of their ongoing monitoring of SSSIs. The surveys focused on identifying the communities for which the SSSI is noted, including a range of swamp, fen, woodland and grassland communities. The surveys provided detailed NVC maps of the site, detailed descriptions of the communities identified, target notes of key features, assessment of the management issues and recommendations. Advice was given on the effects of different grazing animals on the site, leading to options for changes in management.
