TL;DR: The importance of biogeochemical and ecological knowledge at different spatial scales for the management and restoration of biodiversity, water quality, carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services, especially in a changing climate is demonstrated by presenting research and practice on the restoration of rich fen ecosystems within agricultural areas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the most important mire related terms, present status, threats and conservation and restoration attempts are discussed, and a framework for the conservation of lowland fens and flood plains is presented.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on the effects of cattle grazing, fire and cutting on fens, to explore the relationship between management and biodiversity in fens is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of the commonly used meadow restoration methods is presented, and the change in the saturation index is used to evaluate the degree of success.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative light intensity (RLI) was measured in vertical profiles, next to vegetation releves accompanied by measurements of above-ground biomass, summer groundwater level, N and P content in vegetation, pH and soil redox potential.
