 Limestone Pavement Action Group - Ecology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Woodland plants were unable to find a niche on the surface of the pavement where the soils were thin or non-existent, and retreated into the grikes between the blocky clints where there was deeper soil, shade, humidity and protection from grazing.
This is why it is possible to find typical woodland species such as honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum), dogs mercury (Mercurialis perennis), herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia) and angular Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum odoratum) in upland areas which are otherwise surrounded by tracts of grassland and moorland.
These surveys showed that the most frequent species found in the grikes were herb Robert (Geranium robertium), maidenhair spleenwort (Asplenium trichomanes), dog’s mercury, harts-tongue fern (Phyllitis scolopendrium), wall-rue (Asplenium ruta-muraria), male fern (Dryopteris felix-mas), common dog violet (Viola riviniana) and wall lettuce (Mycelis muralis).
