Title
Vegetation response to restoration management of a blanket bog damaged by drainage and afforestation
Mark H. Hancock; Daniela Klein; Roxane Andersen; et al. Applied Vegetation Science 2018. doi:10.1111/avsc.12367
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Vegetation developed toward bog-like conditions during the first six years of restoration.
- Observation Overall vegetation change stalled during the next eight years.
- Observation Spatial variability increased during the next eight years.
- Observation Ellenberg F values indicated significant re-wetting to moisture levels similar to intact bog.
- Observation Other restoration outcomes progressed in wetter furrows and flat ground.
- Observation Other restoration outcomes stalled on drier plough ridges and steeper slopes.
- Recommendation Additional management may be needed in drier areas where recovery stalled.
