- Intervention effect Disturbing litter and adding Calluna seeds were necessary for establishment at the low grazing site.
- Intervention effect Continuing versus relaxing bracken control showed no observed difference over the experiment.
- Intervention effect At the high grazing site, preventing sheep grazing, disturbing litter and adding propagules were necessary to enhance Calluna regeneration.
