Abstract
(en) [Effects of turf-cutting for the restauration of wet heathlands in high Belgian Ardenne]. Vegetation restoration was attempted in a degraded wet heath overgrown by Molinia caerulea in High Ardenne (Belgium). Top peat-removal was applied in spring 1989 and the vegetation was recorded, in 1989 and 1998, using the Braun-Blanquet method. Top peat-removal had a pronounced and beneficial effect, decreasing the cover of Molinia caerulea and increasing the cover of typical wet heath species (Juncus squarrosus, Carex panicea, Erica tetralix, Trichophorum cespitosum, Narthecium ossifragum). Peat removal also promoted the re-establishment of rare species like Drosera rotundifolia and Lycopodiella inundata. The results of diaspore bank are presented.
