Type

This site is designated due to its biological qualities. SSSIs in Wales have been notified for a total of 142 different animal species and 191 different plant species.

The pale dog violet (Viola lactea) is particularly dependent on the heathland whilst the pillwort, slender centaury and chamomile thrive on winter-wet disturbed ground near and on paths and tracks. Floating water plants need areas of open water at least ankle-deep in summer and without too much organic matter. Natural Resources Wales attempts to encourage these conditions.

gollark: Anyway, disregarding that, it technically *does* still have side effects, even ones within those contexts.
gollark: Haskell is impure because it has unsafePerformIO. QED.
gollark: But I don't think you can get around the heat issue because of annoying physical laws, even if you move computers onto photonics or something so they do not deal with pesky electricity.
gollark: Also, as I said (prompting this discussion), current computers take time to do things, draw electricity, emit EM radiation, etc.
gollark: Even handling/generating/whatever but not evaluating thunks technically does consume power.
