Spotlight on: Sycamore, Acer pseudoplatanus. This now ubiquitous broadleaf is thought to have arrived in the UK in 1578. Although it hosts fewer other species than oaks, it carries a high biomass of aphids and has bark suitable to support some of our important lichens and mosses.

Sylw i: Sycamorwydden, Acer pseudoplatanus. Y gred ydi bod y goeden lydanddail yma sydd i’w gweld ym mhob man bellach wedi cyrraedd y DU yn 1578. Er ei bod yn cynnal llai o rywogaethau eraill na’r dderwen, mae'n cario biomas uchel o lyslau.

Spotlight on: Butterwort, Pinguicula vulgaris. Did you know we have native insectivorous plants in Wales? Butterwort has distinctive yellow-green leaves and loves damp, nutrient-poor places such as we find in the Welsh uplands.

Sylw i: Tafod-y-gors, Pinguicula vulgaris. Oeddech chi'n gwybod bod gennym ni blanhigion pryfysol brodorol yng Nghymru? Mae gan Dafod-y-gors ddail melynwyrdd nodedig ac mae'n hoff o lecynnau llaith heb lawer o faetholion fel sydd i’w cael yn ucheldiroedd Cymru.

Altitide requires a different attitude! In our latest edition, John Ratcliffe explores potential futures for our uplands. Understanding past upland ecosystems is key to the future, but not a blueprint - what opportunities might we embrace? 📷 John Ratcliffe

Mae altitiwd yn gofyn am weithio’n wahanol! Yn ein rhifyn diweddaraf ni, mae John Ratcliffe yn edrych ar y dyfodol posibl i'n hucheldiroedd. Mae deall ecosystemau’r ucheldir yn y gorffennol yn allweddol i'r dyfodol, ond nid glasbrint - pa gyfleoedd allwn ni eu cofleidio? 📷 John Ratcliffe

Dyn ni wedi cael amser gwych yn gweithio gyda nhw i gyd - we have had a great time working with them. Thank you Matt, Liv, Laura and Freya 💚
