Moss and Liverwort species included on the list of Lancashire Key Species reviewed on 24/09/2019.
Lancashire Key Species (LKS) refers to species which have a recognised status, either (inter)nationally or locally within Lancashire. The criteria for inclusion are available from LERN.
LKS are split into two categories, those that are:
A). believed to be of native occurrence in Lancashire;
B). considered not to be of native occurrence and are potentially invasive (a.k.a Lancashire Invasive Non-native Species).
LKS supersede the lists developed for the Lancashire Biodiversity Action Plan (pending review, Lancashire BAP lists are included as LKS).
For non-migratory species identification as a LKS is usually based upon proven or likely breeding records rather than presence. For migratory species identification will be based on seasonal populations.
