Barnsley Warren () is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1954 and renotified in 1984.〔(Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 1, Sites of Special Scientific Interest )〕 The site is also a Nature Conservation Review site. It lies in a steep-sided dry valley, east of the A429, northeast of Cirencester in the Cotswolds.〔Natural England (2009) ''Sites of Special Scientific Interest(SSSIs)'' ISBN 978-1-84754-036-2〕 The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 (on line) as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS).〔(Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 2, Key Wildlife Sites )〕 Following the introduction of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, the whole of the site was designated "access land" and is therefore open to public access. There are seven units of assessment and the Gloucestershire Pasqueflower reserve is unit 4.〔(Natural England SSSI information on the Barnsley Warren units )〕 ==Gloucestershire Pasqueflower Reserve== * (Natural England SSSI information on Barnsley Warren, unit 4 ) Within the boundary of the Warren, at , is the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust's Gloucestershire Pasqueflower Reserve which is a site.〔(BBC - Breathing Places - Pasqueflower Reserve - Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust ) (accessed 11 April 2009)〕 Detailed information is published in the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust nature reserves handbook.〔Kelham, A, Sanderson, J, Doe, J, Edgeley-Smith, M, et al, 1979, 1990, 2002 editions, 'Nature Reserves of the Gloucestershire Trust for Nature Conservation/Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust'〕 Pasqueflower (''Pulsatilla vulgaris'') is found in larger quantities here than anywhere else in the Cotswolds, which are at the western limit of this species' European range. The flowers bloom in late April or early May. The population has been estimated at over twenty thousand plants. This is a south-west facing slope of Oolitic limestone slope. The thin rendzina soils become richer colluvial deposits in the valley floor. There is a typical Cotswold winterwell in the south-east corner. When this floods in winter it becomes the source of the Ampney Brook. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barnsley Warren」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
