Eco-Hydrology and Peat Investigation - South Cumbria Raised Bogs

The purpose of this project is to review the ecohydrological status of the three SSSI’s, with a focus on the peat deposits in the surrounding landscape and the potential for the restoration of peat-forming conditions in general, and in the context of ombrotrophic bog.<br/>Investigation of the land beyond the SSSI boundary is of primary interest to this study, providing insight into the naturalised state of the historic peatland system hydrology and an account of the degree and effect of modifications over time.
