Presents a detailed amount of the results of Dutch-Irish cooperation in geological, hydrological and ecological studies of two Irish midland raised bogs: Raheenmore Bog and Clara Bog. Raheenmore Bog served as a less impacted reference site for the possible restoration of Clara bog, which has suffered more from peat cutting and drainage in the past. 

An impressive amount of original field and laboratory information is made accessible through maps, graphs and tables, ranging from the wider landscape down to the scales of ecotopes and plant communities.Through this book, Raheenmore and Clara bogs join the ranks of those few bogs in the world for which a really substantial amount of original data is now available for comparison in local studies.

This book shouldn't be missed as a rich source of reference for anyone working in the fields of bog science and restoration. Language: English
