	Heathlands - lowland
		Lowland heathlands are characterised by vegetation that has a greater than 25% cover of plant species from the heath family (ericoids).
		Wet heathland with Dorset heath and cross-leaved heath
		Heathlands are the habitat category in worst condition, and this result is well below the average for terrestrial habitats, all habitats and all features combined.

	Essex Wildlife Trust: heathlands habitats
		Heathlands are a habitat that is characteristic of East Anglia, harbouring a mix of species that is unique to their poor sandy soils.
		In particular there is a whole range of invertebrates that are specifically adapted to heathland conditions, which in turn provide a food source for reptiles, mammals, birds and other invertebrates.
		Increase the area of heathland in the county from 5.5 hectares to 200 hectares (0.5% of county area).

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Kwongan heathlands (AA1205) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Kwongan Heathlands ecoregion shares similarities to the fynbos of South Africa, the Californian chaparral, the Chilean matorral, and the Mediterranean maquis.
		The honey possum thrives in the Kwongan Heathlands habitat, where the abundant wildflowers mean that nectar is available year-round.
		Large, flightless emus patrol the heathlands for seeds, fruits and flowers, and delicate western spinebills are common here, because they feed on the abundance of nectar.

	National Trust for Jersey
		Heathlands are areas dominated by drought and fire-tolerant shrub vegetation such as Heather, Gorse and Broom; they usually occur on sandy, low fertility acid soils.
		Despite this, heathland was definitely not regarded as useless wasteland; it was used for grazing (often by sheep), and as a valuable source of fuel.
		Heathlands can sometimes appear bleak and uninspiring during the winter months, but in spring and summer they erupt into a glorious sea of colour, as first the gorse, then the heathers, come into bloom, and the air is alive with buzzing insects.

	heathlands (Site not responding. Last check: )

		Heathlands are usually open areas with few trees, and heather and gorse are usually the main vegetation.
		Heathland is an important habitat because, over thousands of years, unique communities of plants and animals have adapted to living there.

	HEATHLANDS ON THE INTERNET
		Heathland is a product of human activity, formed where primeval forest was cleared for early agriculture on nutrient-poor soils, in the cool, moist climate of the Atlantic zone of north-western Europe.
		However, while in the past heathland represented the most productive use which agricultural techniques could make of intrinsically poor quality land, today heathland survives only where there is a conscious intent to retain it, in the face of the capacity of modern agriculture and forestry to turn it to other uses.
		Heathland is burnt to improve the forage for grazing stock but some fires are uncontrolled and wildfires may occur.

	Heathlands
		The Heathlands is a rare mix of gently rolling Michigan landforms, a bygone orchard, open spaces and native hardwoods and wetlands.
		As the name hints, The Heathlands is an inland links-style course spread out over 320 acres, two-thirds of which is a former apple orchard and the remainder is native hardwoods and wetlands.
		Heathlands’ muscle hole is the closing 18th, measuring 605 yards that plays more like 650.

	Heathlands (University of Paisley: Biodiversity Reference) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Disappearance of forest has usually been a result of human action, so, to a large extent, heathlands are a habitat created and maintained by human activity, though continued activity (or sometimes cessation of it) is also resulting in widespread loss of this habitat.
		Many of the major heathland complexes in southern England are on geological formations such as the Bagshot Sands or the Lower Greensand, which are typically free-draining and liable to rapid leaching, with soils derived from the Lower Greensand usually very poor in nutrients at the outset.
		Heathlands are mostly species-poor and dominance by one or very few species is characteristic.

	Heathland invasion
		Dry heathlands are characterised by a shrub overstorey dominated by Allocasuarina paradoxa and Leptospermum myrsinoides above a vigorous ground-layer of Hypolaena fastigiata, whereas wet heathlands are characterised by Allocasuarina paludosa and Leptospermum continentale in the shrub layer and Schoenus brevifolius in the ground layer
		Biomass data for wet heathlands is available only up to age 10 years, at which time it is similar to that of dry heathlands, and so maximum biomass can only be estimated.
		That is, a change in one feature of the fire regime of the dry heathlands - the frequency of burning - may have guaranteed the persistence of the Tea-tree that regenerated after a single fire in 1943 or 1951.

		On Cape Cod, heathlands are now found mostly in small open areas between Eastham and Truro, and in protected stretches along the Cape Cod National Sea Shore.
		Coastal heathlands are stable communities that are adapted to the harsh seaside conditions.

	Heathland - Dorset AONB
		Heathland was regarded as a wasteland in the past, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.
		In the past, heathland was undervalued and much has been lost to agricultural improvement, conversion to conifer forest and mineral extraction.
		In fact, only 15% of the heathlands that were present in 1750 in Dorset and the Poole Basin remain.

		Nutrients in the soil are typically scarce, or are unavailable to plants because of soil acidity or waterlogging.
		This may be seen to good effect in the Carlisle Heathlands, north of the Otway Ranges, where closed heathlands on impoverished sandy soils derived from Tertiary sediments are interspersed with woodlands and forests which clothe the deeply dissected hills.
		he major challenges in heathlands management are the establishment of ecologically sound fire regimes, the control of environmental weeds such as Coast Tea-tree and Coast Wattle, the management of elevated nutrient levels, and the control of plant diseases.

	Review of Heathlands Golf Club by Two Guys Who Golf

		We found the tees, fairway, greens and even the rough, to be consistently sculpted, adding allure to a layout that is uniquely interesting.
		The Heathlands is set amongst the highlands and rolling hills just south of Portage Lake, and winds through considerable fruit orchards.
