Climate exposure

This is about exposure to a nationwide pressure this habitat type carries — not a verdict on this site's own management.

Coastal

Coastal habitats are exposed to sea-level rise and storm erosion. Where hard sea defences sit behind them, there's nowhere landward to retreat to — a squeeze that keeps compressing the habitat no matter how well it's managed.

Description

Galboly Fungi assemblage, Hieracium basalticola, Higher plant assemblage, Irish whitebeam Calcareous grassland, Dry heath, Inland rock, Intertidal rock, Mixed ashwoods Cretaceous stratigraphy, Mass movement, Tertiary igneous The area is of special scientific interest because of its geological and geomorphological features, woodland, grasslands in particular herb-rich calcareous grassland, cliff vegetation, bryophyte-rich scree, dry heath, intertidal communities, rare plants and fungi. Galboly, overlooking Red Bay, is dominated by vertical basalt and chalk cliffs, which rise in places to over 200m above the grassland, heathland and woodland below. Galboly has two main rock types; chalk of Cretaceous age 85-80 million years old overIain by basalt of Palaeogene age 60 million years old. At Garron Point rocks that were formed in a more or less horizontal position have been rotated such that they are inclined 45° to the west. The blocks have moved on a rotational plane and separated from the main Garron Plateau. This happened as the Cretaceous chalk is underlain by soft and older mudstones. During the last ice age, vertical cliffs had been sculpted along the coast by the passage of the ice. After the ice had retreated, the cliffs were unstable and deformation of the underlying mudstones, possibly assisted by freeze-thaw action typical of the then prevailing peri-glacial climate, caused rotational faulting of huge blocks of the outer plateau. The primary blocks are no longer active, but there are still active slips and mud flows from the secondary blocks. While Galboly and Drumnasole host all of the members of the Ulster White Limestone Formation from the Galboly Chalk Member up to the Portrush Chalk Member the area is of particular importance for the type locality of the Garron Chalk Member. The Garron Chalk Member is from the Campanian stage of the Cretaceous and is stratigraphically near the middle of the Formation. The type locality is found in the cliff section at Garron Point. The Garron Chalk Member is subdivided into three by beds of large flints. These flint bands are useful lithostratigraphic markers. The Garron Chalk Member has a high content of Inoceramus sp fragments, with large fragments being distinctive in the upper part of the unit. The basalts of the Antrim Lava Group were extruded through fissure eruptions during a period of high volcanic activity associated with the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean. Exposures in the site cover the Lower Basalt, the Interbasaltic and the Upper Basalt Formations, a complete section through this part of the Antrim Lava Group. The Interbasaltic Formation marks a period of relative volcanic quiescence between the two main eruptive phases, during which the Lower Basalts were deeply weathered in a tropical climate. The Upper Basalt Formation was erupted over the Interbasaltic at the start of the second volcanic cycle. The sections through the Antrim Lava Group are of considerable importance in interpreting the petrology, volcanology and geochemistry of the Palaeogene volcanic rocks of northeast Ireland. The continuous nature of the sequences exposed has allowed a near complete picture to emerge of their geochemical history. This has allowed correlation with similarly aged rocks on Skye and Mull in the Hebrides. The recognition here of zeolite zonation has been used to establish similar zeolite zones elsewhere in the British Tertiary Volcanic Province and also in Iceland. The woodland within the townlands of Lower Galboly and Nappan grows on the steep scarp slopes which characterise much of the Antrim coast. Galboly has one of the largest semi-natural woodlands in County Antrim and although it is confined to a relatively narrow strip of land between Tower Road and the scarp-top cliffs, it is over 2km in length and 30 hectares in extent. The woodland structure and composition reflect local physical and edaphic conditions, with steepness of slope, frequency of rock, boulder or scree exposures, soil depth and moisture, stock trampling and grazing, and other management all having a marked influence on it. The woodland consists predominantly of a mature hazel Corylus avellana canopy with widespread mature oak Quercus robur and ash Fraxinus excelsior, although these taller canopy trees are generally restricted to the lower slopes. The majority of the lower canopy is hazel Corylus avellana with widespread and locally abundant hawthorn Crataegus monogyna. rowan Sorbus aucuparia and downy birch Betula pubescens are also present. The northern end of the woodland is quite exposed to gales and sea-spray and the trees here are quite stunted, with a low hazel Corylus avellana canopy. Due to the dry nature of much of the woodland, ferns are infrequent in the field layer and consist of lady fern Athyrium filix-femina, soft shield fern Polystichum setiferum, male fern Dryopteris filix-mas, hard fern Blechnum spicant and broad buckler fern Dryopteris dilatata. Rock cliff faces and large boulders also have black spleenwort Asplenium adiantum-nigrum, hart's-tongue Phyllitis scolopendrium and maidenhair spleenwort Asplenium trichomanes. The ground flora consists mostly of bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta and a reasonable complement of other woodland herbs including primrose Primula vulgaris, common dog violet Viola riviniana, wild strawberry Fragaria vesca, hairy wood rush Luzula pilosa, sanicle Sanicula europaea, wood avens Geum urbanum, wood anemone Anemone nemorosa, yellow pimpernel Lysimachia nemorum, woodruff Galium odoratum, wood sedge Carex sylvatica, wood melick Melica uniflora and pignut Conopodium majus. At times, due to historical grazing management, a grassy ground flora dominates, consisting of grasses such as false brome Brachypodium sylvaticum and sweet vernal grass Anthoxanthum odoratum, but this makes up only a small proportion of the woodland. In places within the woodland, early purple orchid Orchis mascula is conspicuous with other notable plants such as toothwort Lathraea squamaria and wood vetch Vicia sylvatica. A rich bryophyte flora exists both on the ground and on the chalk boulders and scree within the woodland. Typical species include common tamarisk moss Thuidium tamariscinum, common striated feather moss Eurhynchium striatum, common feather moss Eurhynchium praelongum, and big shaggy moss Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus with chalk comb moss Ctenidium molluscum present on chalk boulders and scree. In the townlands of Fallowvee, Galboly Upper and Galboly Lower shallow, freely-draining soils have developed over the underlying chalk and basalt, and these have given rise to a type of dry grassland known as calcareous grassland. This grassland is scarce within Northern Ireland and lowland examples, like those at Galboly, are rare in the United Kingdom, being limited to western parts of Scotland and the Antrim coast in Northern Ireland. The calcareous grassland occurs on both the lower basalt and chalk. Diversity of herbs, sedges and grasses is very high, with some of the most species-rich dry grass swards in Northern Ireland. The grassland is typically tightly grazed and has a short sward which allows light-demanding species to thrive. Wild thyme Thymus polytrichus has taken advantage of the open conditions and flourishes with other low-growing herbs to create a rich, colourful sward. There is also a high diversity of bryophytes both within the grassland itself, and on the exposed bare chalky ground, basalt and chalk boulders, and scree at the base of the slopes. The driest grassland areas are dominated by the grasses red fescue Festuca rubra, sheep's fescue Festuca ovina, common bent Agrostis capillaris with abundant sweet vernal grass Anthoxanthum odoratum, crested dog's tail Cynosurus cristatus, heath grass Danthonia decumbens and silver hair grass Aira caryophyllea. Sedges are also frequent amongst the sward with glaucous sedge Carex flacca and spring sedge Carex calyophyllea, with occasional flea sedge Carex pulicaris on moister soils. Herbs are common and diverse with wild thyme Thymus polytrichus, eyebright Euphrasia officinalis agg, lady's bedstraw Galium verum, harebell Campanula rotundifolia, wild strawberry Fragaria vesca, fairy flax Linum catharticum, birdsfoot trefoil Lotus corniculatus, mouse_ear hawkweed Pilosella officinarum, common dog violet Viola riviniana, heath speedwell Veronica officinalis and bulbous buttercup Ranunculus bulbosus. Where soils are thin and the sward is open, the bryophytes golden head moss Breutelia chrysocoma, chalk comb moss Ctenidium molluscum and Tamarisk scalewort Frullania tamarisci, are common. Big shaggy moss Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, capillary thread moss Bryum capillare, great plait moss Hypnum cupressiforme var. lacul1osum, broom fork moss Dicranum scoparium are also frequent within the sward. The topography around the Creariagh Burn, where the swards have developed on crushed chalk, is very distinctive with landforms which rise steeply from the Coast Road up to the basalt and chalk cliffs. Scattered sub-seral hawthorn Crataegus monogyna scrub is widespread in the calcareous grassland with grazing creating unusual dwarfed bushes, some of which are extremely old despite their small size. Many of the bushes are covered in crustose lichens such as shaggy strap lichen Ramalina farinacea and are potentially important refugia for both lower plants and invertebrates due to the shelter they offer from grazing animals. The cliffs at Galboly have a diverse assemblage of vascular plants and bryophytes. Both the basalt and chalk cliffs are vertical in places and notable higher plant species occur on upper grassland ledges where grazing intensity decreases due to inaccessibility. Species present include spring sandwort Minuartia verna, which is a montane species found on the basaltic escarpment and cliffs of the Co Antrim and Co Londonderry coasts, and the hawkweed Hieracium basalticola, which is a species endemic to Ireland. Mossy saxifrage Saxifraga hypnoides is a plant also found on grassy places below the basalt scarp, on the scarp cliff itself and on the scree slopes. Limestone bedstraw Galium sterneri is probably more or less confined to the basaltic scarp in the Galboly area, where it tends to prefer edges of ledges and grassy places on steep slopes. Juniper Juniperus communis, ivy Hedera helix and several species of fern also grow on the cliff face. Further diversity is added by the presence of vegetated scree slopes and moss-covered boulder fields where weathered rocks have fallen from both the sheer chalk and basalt rock faces. These, combined with the natural exposed thin soils in the calcareous grassland, have provided an excellent habitat for a very diverse community of bryophytes that include species such as Montagne's cylinder moss Entodon concinnus, dull starry feather moss Campylium protensum, lesser rough earwort Scapania aequiloba, golden feather moss Campyliadelphus Chlysophyllus and sessile grimmia Schistidium apocarpum. Other notable plants occur throughout the area. Ivy broomrape Orobanche hederae is a Schedule 8 species listed in the Wildlife Northern Ireland Order. It is a parasitic plant which attaches itself to the roots of a host species, in this case, the roots of ivy Hedera helix. Although ivy Hedera helix is a very common and widespread species, this parasite is rare, and confined to two sites in County Fermanagh and Galboly on the Antrim Coast. Rock samphire Crithmum maritimum grows along the shoreline and is a succulent umbelliferous plant of rocks and cliffs beside the sea. Galboly is one of the most northerly locales for this plant within Northern Ireland. sea kale Crambe maritima is also present in Galboly where it grows on the sandy and gravelly shoreline. Tor-grass Brachypodium pinnatum is found along a laneway in the grounds of St MacNissi's College; this species is particularly rare within Northern Ireland. Irish whitebeam Sorbus hibernica is endemic to Ireland and occurs in Galboly on the limestone scarps and wooded areas beside St MacNissi's College. Various grassland areas in both Galboly Upper and Galboly Lower townlands are rich in grassland fungi. Such areas are often described as "waxcap grasslands" because of the range of waxcap fungi from the genus Hygrocybe that are found. At Galboly, waxcaps are fairly frequent in areas where soil nutrients are low, and species such as snowy waxcap Hygrocybe virginea var virginea, scarlet waxcap Hygrocybe coccinea, oily waxcap Hygrocybe quieta and meadow waxcap Hygrocybe pratensis are generally fairly common. Less frequently recorded species include crimson waxcap Hygrocybe punicea, persistent waxcap Hygrocybe persistens and earthy waxcap Hygrocybe fornicata. More restricted to the chalk grasslands near the coast road is the more notable taxa Hygrocybe calciphila, which is a species associated with elevated base status. A range of other grassland fungi, representing other genera and taxa, are also found here, reflecting low soil nutrient status. These include species such as smoky spindles Clavaria fumosa, the earthtongue Geoglossum glutinosum and mosaic puffball Handkea utriformis. Additional, more notable species include the rare big blue pinkgill Entoloma bloxamii, mealy pinkgill Entoloma prunuloides and olive earthtongue Microglossum olivaceum. The dry heath at Galboly is significant in its extent. Large areas of dry heathland, such as those at Galboly, are generally very scarce within Northern Ireland. The dry heath occurs on the basalt slopes extending into the more upland vegetation above the clifftop towards the Garron Plateau and Lough Galboly. Small areas of dry heath on the slopes can be rich in grasses and herbs, often forming a mosaic with both calcareous grassland and acid grassland. However, the majority of the dry heath is dominated by dwarf-shrub species which include heather Calluna vulgaris and bell heather Erica cinerea, with frequent bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus. Grasses and herbs include common bent Agrostis capillaris, sheep's fescue Festuca ovina and red fescue Festuca rubra with herbs such as tormentil Potentilla erecta, wood sage Teucrium scorodonia, slender St John's wort Hypericum pulchrum and common dog violet Viola riviniana. Bryophytes include glittering wood moss Hylocomium splendens, heath plait moss Hypnum jutlandicum, big shaggy moss Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus and common tamarisk moss Thuidium tamariscinum. Galboly is also notable for its intertidal rock communities. The intertidal area is typical of the North Antrim Coast shoreline. This site ranges from a moderately exposed boulder shore in the upper intertidal with rockpools present, to limestone ridges which run parallel to the shore in the lower intertidal. Galboly is notable for the several biotopes, which are typical of a moderately exposed rocky shore. The mid-eulittoral is dominated by the common limpet Patella vulgata, toothed wrack Fucus serratus and knotted wrack Ascophyllum nodosum. The lower eulittoral is dominated by false Irish moss Mastocarpus stellatus, pepper dulse Osmundea pinnatifida and encrusting red algae. The brown algae oarweed Laminaria digitata and thong-weed Himanthalia elongata typify lower shores. Common invertebrates include the rough periwinkle Littorina saxatilis, the common perwinkle Littorina littorea, the flat perwinkle Littorina obtusata, and the glass prawn Palaemon serratus. Galboly is an area with a wide range of semi-natural habitats that have been managed in a traditional way. As such, it provides valuable feeding and roosting sites for a range of animals, including birds and invertebrates. The cliff sections within the site provide a regular nesting site for peregrine falcon, Falco peregrinus. County Antrim is a stronghold for this endangered bird of prey. Peregrine falcon is a Northern Ireland Species of Conservation Concern. It is also listed as a species subject to special conservation measures under the European Birds Directive. https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/publications/galboly-assi
