Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Bog vegetation composition changed significantly during the last 700 years.
- Association Before 1750 CE, climate and agro‐pastoral activity were the main drivers of bog vegetation change.
- Association Regional coal‐fired industry was associated with major increases in atmospheric pollutants (dust, heavy metals and acid deposition).
- Association Regional coal‐fired industry was associated with the decline of Sphagnum.
- Association Grasses rose to dominance in the 20th century, associated with bog conversion and cumulative nitrogen deposition.
- Association Atmospheric pollution decreased significantly in the post‐industrial era.
- Observation Bog vegetation has not returned to pre‐industrial conditions.
- Observation Present-day bog vegetation has no past analogs within the last 700 years.
- Recommendation Conservation measures favouring the reintroduction of Sphagnum are justified.
