Bewick and Beanley Moors in association with old collapsing heather bushes. Conifer plantations aside, the moors have little woodland cover; what exists is found on the boundaries and following the paths of streams at lower elevations. Spwecies include alder ("Alnus glutinosa"), hawthorn ("Crataegus monogyna"), brown birch ("Betula pubescens"), rowan ("Sorbus aucuparia") and occasional ash ("Fraxinus excelsior"), and ground-cover of yellow pimpernel ("Lysimachia nemorum"), wood sorrel ("Oxalis acetosella") and smooth-stalked sedge ("Carex laevigata"). As with the bogs, so the woodland also provide transition locations, such as from wet birch-wood to purple moor-grass or to bogs of lesser pond-sedge ("Carex acutiformis"). Other wood species found include
Aphis pomi "A. pomi", especially at high temperatures. Besides occurring on apple ("Malus domestica"), "Aphis pomi" infests other plants in the family Rosaceae including pear ("Pyrus communis "), hawthorn ("Crataegus monogyna"), medlar ("Mespilus germanica"), quince ("Cydonia oblonga"), mountain ash ("Sorbus aucuparia"), rose ("Rosa") and spiraea ("Spiraea"). It is an autoecious species, completing its life cycle on a single host species. Overwintering eggs hatch in spring and the aphids colonise the growing tips of the shoots causing the edges of the leaves to curl. These aphids are all viviparous females and give birth to other wingless aphids by parthenogenesis. In June some winged
