Do restoration measures rehabilitate fauna diversity in raised bogs? A comparative study on aquatic macroinvertebrates

摘要: To assess whether raised bog restorationmeasures contribute to the conservation andrestoration of fauna diversity,macroinvertebrate species assemblages werecompared between water bodies created byrewetting measures and whichhave not been subject restorationmeasures, but are remnants offormer peat cuttings trenches used forbuckwheat culture in past.The restoration sites were inhabited bycharacteristic rarespecies, their numbers higher atthe remnant affected byrestoration management. A considerablenumber characteristic rare faunaspecies only found at remnantsites. The includedconsiderably more variation inmacroinvertebrate andhad a cumulative richness.The number characteristicmacroinvertebrate was clearlyrelated presence characteristicraised vegetation.
