    Assessing Changes in the Agricultural Productivity of Upland Systems in the Light of Peatland Restoration

    Assessing changes in the agricultural productivity of upland systems in the light of peatland restoration Volume 1 of 1 Submitted by Guy William Freeman, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences, June 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 Thesis abstract Human activity has had a profound negative impact on the structure and function of the earth’s ecosystems. However, with a growing awareness of the value of the services provided by intact ecosystems, restoration of degraded land is increasingly used as a means of reviving ecosystem function. Upland landscapes offer an excellent example of an environment heavily modified by human land use. Agriculture has been the key driver of ecosystem change, but as upland habitats such as peatlands can provide a number of highly valuable services, future change may focus on restoration in order to regain key ecosystem processes. However, as pastoral farming continues to dominate upland areas, ecosystem restoration has the potential to conflict with existing land use. This thesis attempts to assess differences in the agricultural productivity of the different habitat types present in upland pastures. Past and present land use have shaped the distribution of different upland habitat types, and future changes associated with ecosystem restoration are likely to lead to further change in vegetation communities.

Christopher remembered, that when he was on his travels in 2007 as chairman of the National Beef Association, he was taken by Robert Forster (Founder and Director of the NBA) to a farm near Otterburn where he was impressed by a herd of Luing Cows. The farmer and his son explained that when the weather was driving rain and sleet, other breeds would seek shelter but Luings remained grazing in the open.

Rev •ed. follows CATTLE BREEDS ror BEEF and ror BEEFand MILK FARMERS' BULLETIN NO. 1779 U.S.DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE A RATHER COMPLETE DESCRIPTION of the breeds of cattle kept primarily for beef or for both beef and milk on farms and on ranches in the United States is given in this bulletin. The farmer or rancher should study his condi- tions and requirements before selecting a breed. If a herd is to be maintained for the production of feeder calves or creep-fed calves, it would be desir- able to select a breed that has been developed pri- marily for beef purposes. On the other hand, if it is desired to market milk or other dairy products together with veal calves, feeders, or fat cattle, any one of those breeds or strains developed for both beef and milk will be a good choice. There are registry associations for most of the established breeds herein described.

  • MINIONS and the CHEESEWRING

    MINIONS and the CHEESEWRING

    MINIONS and THE CHEESEWRING Ahead of us as we set off lay a land that apparently began its life 300 million years ago when molten magma pushed up from under the earth’s crust. Fortunately there were thousands of feet of rock above so the magma was unable to burst through and turn into volcanoes. Slowly it cooled into the crystalline granite that we are all familiar with here in the south west. The next three walks in our current programme are all very different but have one thing in common, each location lies to some degree, along the granite ridge that stretches from Dartmoor in the east to the Isles of Scilly in the west which as we all know, has been quarried right along its length over the years. Our stroll began by us walking right through the middle of three stone circles known as The Hurlers which are said to date to the early Bronze Age, fourteen stone uprights survive in the largest circle, central circle which also has fourteen markers for missing stones while just a few stones remain in the smaller circles on either side but we barely gave them a second glance as most heads were bent against the winds that gusted all around. Even the animals we saw today were wearing their thick winter coats, a few Herdwick sheep plus a huge flock of Belted Galloway cattle, but surprisingly some of the cattle appeared to be pregnant while a few young calves accompanied their mothers as they grazed. What a shock that must have been, leaving a warm womb to plop onto the cold ground as the raging winds blew! Up ahead lay the Cheesewring rock formation perched precariously on the edge of Cheesewring Quarry itself which first became operational in 1845 but all major working had ceased here by the early part of the 20th century.
