Establishment of Wetland Ground Flora: An Analysis of Planting Methodologies

Ireland, S. N., Hedges, P. D., and Fermor, P. M. IN: Natural and constructed wetlands - nutrients, metals and management, p. 91-111. J. Vymazal, ed. Backhuys Publishers. 2005.

This project aims to provide a quantification of wetland establishment techniques for various wetland habitats. To enable this a cost/benefit analysis of the establishment techniques utilised within a series of experimental sites will be developed. This will involve the analysis of the comparative costs of each of the techniques used and the development of success criteria to provide a quantifiable benefit for each of the planting methods. The comparison will inform a cost/benefit matrix for the establishment of wetland nature reserves.
