In recent years the rate of destruction of Irish peatlands has greatly accelerated. In recognition of this and of the urgent need for their the Wildlife Service embarked ona J conservation, national inventory of Irish peatlands in order to r, ascertain their current status and to assess the u relative scientific importance of individual sites. This began with the commissioning,in 1983,of a survey of Midland Raised Bogs. Since that time further surveys have been commissioned which completed theoriginalsurvey and which in 11 the work of addition, sought to determine the extent and scientific importance of Ireland's Western Raised Bogs and her Lowland Atlantic Blanket Bogs. In April 1991 The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) commissioned a survey of Irish upland bogs. The aim was to determine the range of variation to be found in upland bog sites, their degree of intactness, their relative scientific importance and to select the sites most worthy of conservation.This report presents the results of that survey. For the purposes of this survey, upland bogs are J defined as those lying above the 152 m in altitude. This is the altitude use by Hammond (1979) to define the lower limits of mountain blanket bog.This author has calculated that out of an original area of 434000 ha of this type of bog in Ireland, by 1979,320 000 ha :ii (74%) remained. 11 Incharacterising the vegetation of mountain blanket bogs, Hammond (loc. cit.) relies on the work of Moore (1964) who classifies Irish peatland plant LJ 0 0 0 0 0 cJ 0 0 0 0(52J 0 0 0 0 0 0 cI communities. Moore (loc. cit.) distinguishes mountain blanket bogs on the basis of the occurrence of Vaccinium myrtillus, Empetrum nigrum and Diplophyllum albicans in the vegetation.In addition, species characteristic of Atlantic Lowland Blanket Bog and Raised Bog, are scarce or absent. These include Molinia caerulea, Schoenus niaricans, Pleurozia purpurea, Campylopus atrovirens, Potentilla erecta, Polygala serpyllifolia, Pedicularis sylvatica and Drosera intermedia, in the case of the former, and Andromeda polyfolia, Vaccinium oxycoccus,Sphagnum U imbricatum, S. fuscum and S. magellanicum in the case r1 of the latter. Schouten (1984) subdivides the mountain blanket bog type, as defined by Hammond (loc.cit.), into mountain blanket bogs and highland blanket bogs. In the former type, he places bogs occurring above 300 m, and in the latter, bogs occurring at between 152 m and 300 m. These occur on areas with a very gentle gradient and generally have a vegetation intermediate between that characteristic of the lowland blanket bogs and the mountain blanket bogs. The work of the foregoing authors was used as a basisfor the present study. Thisstudy, while undertaking to examine the variation occurring in Irish upland peatlandsites, doesnot attempt a detailed phytosociological examination of these sites, J owing to limitations on time and resources. J METHODS Themethods used in this survey broadly follow J those used in earlier surveys of Irish peatlands (e.g. Douglas et al. ). In identifying mountain blanket bog areas, use was made of the Peatland Map of Ireland compiledby Hammond (1979). Due to the small scale of this map and the fact that it was known that certain uplandbog areas had been omitted from it, extensive use was made aerial photographs at a scale of 1:30000, taken during the 1970's, in order to locate potential sites. Aerial photographs from all the major upland areas in the country were examined.Potential sites identified and drawn on 1/2" or where they were available, 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey Maps.

  • An Investigation of Vegetation and Environmental Change in the Comeragh Mountains
    An investigation of vegetation and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains Dr Bettina Stefanini An investigation of vegetation and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains Prepared by Dr Bettina Stefanini 8 Middle Mountjoy Street Phibsboro Dublin 7 Phone: 087 218 0048 email: [email protected] February 2013 2 Introduction Ireland has a dense network of over 475 palaeoecological records of Quaternary origin. However, there are few late-Holocene vegetation records from Waterford and the extant ones are truncated (Mitchell et al. 2013). Thus the county presents a blank canvas regarding prehistoric vegetation dynamics. Likewise, possible traces in the environment of its well documented 18th century mining and potential earlier mining history have not been found so far. This study was commissioned by the Metal Links project, at the Copper Coast Geopark, which is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Ireland Wales Programme 2007 - 2013 (Interreg 4A). It aims to investigate vegetation dynamics, mining history and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains. Site description and sampling Ombrotrophic peat is the most promising medium for geochemical analysis since metal traces are thought to be immobile in this matrix (Mighall et al. 2009). Such deposits are equally well suited for microfossil analysis and for this reason the same cores were chosen for both analyses. The selection of potential study sites presented difficulties due to extensive local disturbance of peat sediments. Initial inspection of deposits on the flanks of the Comeragh Mountains revealed that past peat harvesting had removed or disturbed much of this material and thus rendered it unsuitable for analysis.

These farmers manage 37,000 ha of land representing over 65% of the total agricultural area of the Special Protection Area (SPA) network. The summer of 2019 was also the first season where the new Hen Harrier Programe App was operational. This facilitated the collection of data on almost 19,000 fields. Habitat payments worth over €3,000,000 were paid to participants this year. This year also seen the commencement of the first payments for supporting actions. The issuing of the Hen Harrier payment was delayed, but €453,110.90 was paid out to 972 participants in 2020.
