to Bog RestorationRestoration of afforested blanket bog (FtB)Different techniques trialled in ForsinardChronosequence focuses on felled to wasteSlide3
Experimental Aims
What type of restoration trajectory can we expect for carabid communities? What environmental variables best predict carabid distribution?Do carabid functional traits follow a similar trajectory? What environmental variables are of importance for functional traits?Slide4
