dbo:abstract
  • Black Lake is a nature reserve in Delamere Forest, Cheshire, England. It lies in the southwestern corner of the forest, just south of the Manchester–Chester railway. It is managed by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust (CWT) on behalf of the Forestry Commission, and as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is monitored by Natural England. The site is designated as an SSSI because "it represents a very early stage of a Schwingmoor type basinfen and occurs in association with dystrophic open water." A Schwingmoor or quaking bog occurs when plants such as Sphagnum mosses and cotton grass Eriophorum sp. colonise the surface of a waterbody and form a floating mat of vegetation; at Black Lake the Sphagnum raft covers around half the lake surface. The SSSI (which includes the surrounding catchment area) covers an area of 1.74 hectares (4.3 acres);the CWT reserve is 0.40 hectares (0.99 acres) in area. The site is also noted for its uncommon dragonflies, which formerly included the white-faced darter (Leucorrhinia dubia). (en)
