Field Collection Notes
Locally common in a heavily modified wetland. Stock have been excluded for the last 3-5 months and the sedhge has regenerated at a high rate. The wetland area is c. 9000m2, the Carex is around 15% scattered coverage; so it occupies c.1350m2 scattered throughout Juncus sp., Eleocharis acuta, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani and Glyceria maxima. Ultimately the owner and I would like to restore this wetland
