Dragonfly fauna in rewetted mires in Belarus: diverse but different from natural sites

摘要: Mire specialist species are under strong anthropogenic pressure. In areas where the exploitation of their habitat has been temporary or unsuccessful, restoration frequently risen as an objective. The results activities for specialists, however, unclear. this work we investigated whether raising water level ca. 10 years ago in degraded bogs brought back a characteristic group fauna, and mire specialists therein. Dip-netting Odonata larvae, together with description, was carried out restored, unrestored, natural sites. We found almost no larvae at unrestored restored sites provided diverse including lagg zone species. Bog only occurred former pit-mining site. Based on study, suggest three means to support biodiversity Odonata: (i) protecting remaining mires, (ii) using instead milling peat extraction, (iii) creating special pools milled that have designated restoration.
