Re-monitoring of the other ESAs 2000

Summary:

The West Fermanagh & Erne Lakeland ESA was re-surveyed in 1999 six years after baseline biological monitoring (Cameron et al. 2000). A complete re-survey of all of the other four ESAs was carried out in 2000. Data on plant and invertebrate species composition were compared between years for ESA participant and non-participant farms to determine the effects of ESA scheme prescriptions on heather moorland in the Mournes and Slieve Croob ESA, the Sperrins ESA, the Slieve Gullion ESA and heather moorland and woodland in the Antrim Coast, Glens and Rathlin ESA.
