Abstract:
Of the 310,000 hectares of raised bog estimated to have originally occurred in Ireland, only 50,000 hectares now remains, and much of this is in poor ecological condition. This guidance document has been produced to provide a scientific basis for restoration of raised bog habitats in Ireland and to compile the current best practice techniques for raised bog restoration
