Wild Sedges in Habitat Table

The data in the following table is from Collins Pocket Guide to The Grasses, Sedges, Rushes and Ferns of Britain and Northern Europe by R.Fitter, A.Fitter and A. Farrer (ISBN 0 00 219136 9) first published :-

 

A Habitat Table with its Wild Sedge Plants:-

Sedges

Plants with long narrow grass-like leaves, either borne on a stem or in a tussock, sometimes of great size. These may be sedges, which typically have triangular stems (a few are rounded), channeled leaves which only rarely form a loose sheath around the stem, and flowers in spikelets. They typically grow on dry or very wet soils, but not on the more fertile; almost all are perennials.

The following Sedges are further described and linked to the

Alpine Sedge (Syn. Close-headed Alpine Sedge) in wet, stony slopes, ledges and turf over basic rock and with base-rich run-off.

False Sedge in stony flushes, base-rich mires and wet, grassy or sedge-rich turf on limestone or calcareous mica-schist.
Breckland Spring Sedge (Rare Spring-sedge) is restricted to dry, grazed grasslands; it occurs on infertile calcareous soils overlying limestone, chalk or chalky boulder-clay. It is a poor competitor and soon disappears if under-grazing allows the sward to become too rank.
Common Sedge in fens, fen-meadows, bogs, streamsides and flushes, wet grassland and dune-slacks.
Downy-Fruited Sedge in damp meadows, but is also found in dry grassland, grassy woodland rides and along roadsides.
Dwarf Sedge on closely-grazed, calcareous grassland, especially on steep slopes on chalk downland. Over limestone it also occurs locally in grazed pastures as well as on field margins, track-sides and rock outcrops.

Bog-Rush is a tussock-forming perennial of calcareous and other base-rich fens (especially near springs), and of peaty flushes, marshes, bogs, dune-slacks, sea-cliff flushes, and the upper fringes of saltmarshes where there is base-rich flushing.
Broad-leaved Cotton-Grass in wet, base-rich lowland meadows and mires, and in fens and calcareous flushes in the uplands.
Common Cotton-Grass is often growing in standing water. Its habitats range from upland blanket bogs and hillside flushes to wet heaths and marshy meadows in the lowlands.
Flat-Headed Sedge (Flat-sedge) is in open areas in marshes and fens, and in short, sedge-rich, damp grassland, calcareous flushes and stream borders which are subject to flooding.
Arisaig Sedge (Club Sedge) in mesotrophic fens on or near the margins of lakes, often bordering outflow streams, and always in areas which are periodically inundated.
Brown Sedge is found in wet meadows and marshes, fens, by ditches and streams, on the margins of lakes and ponds, and occasionally in dune-slacks.

Acid Soils have few basic minerals such as calcium and magnesium and are typically formed on rocks such as sandstones and granites.

Annual plants live for a year or less.

Base-rich or basic soils have large amounts of basic minerals (mainly calcium) and so are only slightly acid, neutral or alkaline.

Bogs occur on wet, more or less acid peat, and are often dominated by sphagnum mosses and sedges.

Calcareous soils are formed over chalk and limestone, and so are extremely base -rich. They are never more than slightly acid at the surface, and typically have a rich flora.

Casual plants appear only irregularly and are not native to the area.

Cones in horsetails and clubmosses are the fertile, spore-bearing region, more or less clearly differentiated from the stem.

Dunes are areas of wind-blown, usually calcareous shell-sand near the sea, with areas of damp ground termed 'slacks' in between.

Fens occur on base-rich peat, in contrast to bogs which are acid; the source of the bases is always infiltrating water from the surrounding land, since peat has no mineral reserves. Poor fens are nutrient-poor or acid, changing to bogs.

Foreshore is both
the area of a shore that lies between the average high tide mark and the average low tide mark and
the part of a shore between the water and occupied or cultivated land.

Heaths are dry, heather- or gorse-dominated areas in lowland regions, with rather acid soils. Wet heaths lie between bogs and heaths.

Margin is edge.

Marshes are wet habitats on mineral soils, though often with a thin layer of peat.

Moors are the upland counterpart of heaths and are typically dominated by heather, though bilberry, grasses or mosses may be important components.

Peat is a soil wholly composed of the un- or partially decomposed remains of plants which once grew on the site. It typically occurs in waterlogged conditions in which decomposition is very slow. Peats are found in fens and bogs.

Perennials are plants that survive for more than a single growing season.

Rhizomes are underground stems, from which shoots arise, sometimes swollen with stored food. They may be horizontal and far-creeping, short, or even upright.

Slack is a damp area in a sand-dune system.

Waste places are areas much disturbed by man, but not cultivated.

Wintergreen is a plant that remains green through the winter.

UKButterflies Larval Foodplants website page lists the larval foodplants used by British butterflies. The name of each foodplant links to a Google search. An indication of whether the foodplant is a primary or secondary food source is also given.

Please note that the Butterfly you see for only a short time has grown up on plants as an egg, caterpillar and chrysalis for up to 11 months, before becoming a butterfly. If the plants that they live on during that time are removed, or sprayed with herbicide, then you will not see the butterfly.
 

Topic - Wildlife on Plant Photo Gallery.

Some UK native butterflies eat material from UK Native Wildflowers and live on them as eggs, caterpillars (Large Skipper eats False Brome grass - Brachypodium sylvaticum - for 11 months from July to May as a Caterpillar before becoming a Chrysalis within 3 weeks in May) chrysalis or butterflies ALL YEAR ROUND.
Please leave a small area in your garden for wildflowers to grow without disturbance throughout the year for the benefit of butterflies, moths and other wildlife who are dependant on them.

Plant Photo Galleries for Wildflowers

There are 180 families in the Wildflowers of the UK and they have been split up into 22 Galleries to allow space for up to 100 plants per gallery.

Each plant named in each of the Wildflower Family Pages may have a link to:-

its Plant Description Page in its Common Name in one of those Wildflower Plant Galleries and will have links

to external sites to purchase the plant or seed in its Botanical Name,

to see photos in its Flowering Months and

to read habitat details in its Habitat Column.

(the families within "The Pocket Guide to Wild Flowers" by David McClintock & R.S.R. Fitter, Published in 1956 are not in Common Name alphabetical order and neither are the common names of the plants detailed within each family. These families within that book will have their details described as shown in the next column starting from page 1 in February 2017 until all the families have been completed on page 307.

This may take a few months of my time before I get to the Adder's Tongue Family on page 307.

Links to the other Butterflies:-

Black Hairstreak uses Blackthorn, Privet, Guelder Rose, and Wayfaring tree
Brown Hairstreak uses Blackthorn, Bramble flowers and tops of Ash trees for males to congregate in
Camberwell Beauty It is not believed that it breeds in the UK, but butterflies swarm over from European Countries depending on the weather.
Chequered Skipper uses False Brome, Hairy Brome Grass, Bugle

I have detailed the use of plants by these eggs, caterpillars, chrysalis and butterfly in full with either photos of those butterflies, etc or illustrations from Sandars. It shows that they do use plants all year round and I will insert the information of their Life Histories into the remainder of the Butterfly Description Pages but I will put no further information in this table or the Butterfly Name with its use of plants table. Please see what a council did to destroy the native habitat, so that children could ride bicyles anywhere in the park in the row below.

Details of what plant is used by each of the different 'egg, caterpillar, chrysalis or butterfly' unit and for how long is given in the table on the left.

 

The following is an excerpt from my Comments about the proposed destruction of the wildlife habitats at Cobtree Manor Park in the summer of 2010 from my Mission Statement page:-

"We would be sorry to lose the butterflies on the bluebells, bramble and ivy that would be restricted to only the very small area of proposed Wildlife Meadow by the Woods at the bottom of a hill with water springs on it. The wildlife is now being excluded from all the other areas by the "pruning", so that the nettles, brambles etc which had for instance the butterfly life cycle included; are now being ruthlessly removed to create a garden, not a park, with neat little areas."

When you look at the life history graphs of each of the 68 butterflies of Britain, you will see that they use plants throughout all 12 months - the information of what plant is used by the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis or butterfly is also given in the table on the left. With this proposed removal of all plants required for butterflies etc to live in and pro-create; at least once a year by the autumn or spring clearing up, you destroy the wildlife in this park as is done in every managed park in the world. Please leave something for the wildlife to live in without disturbance; rather than destroy everything so children can ride their bicycles anywhere they want when the park is open during the day and they are not at school.
