The use of historical accounts of species distribution to suggest restoration targets for UK upland mires within a ‘moorland’ landscape [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2023
Using contemporary accounts of vegetation in the South Pennine landscape of northern England from the late 18th Century to the present day, we describe the degradation and subsequent partial recovery of these upland mire systems in terms of their ...
