“…At each of the 3 pools, samples of surface water, sediment pore water, and benthic organic matter (BOM) were collected in May 2001 and September 2002 to assess pH and the concentrations of nutrients and other components. For further details about the methods used for analyses see van Duinen et al (2003van Duinen et al ( , 2006a. The concentration of DOC in surface water was analyzed in samples collected in December 2006 and July 2007.…”

“…In rewetted sites these requirements have apparently not been met for several macroinvertebrate species, contrary to the non-rewetted sites that were included in the macroinvertebrate study. This can be due to a more radical degradation (e.g., largescaled peat extraction) in the rewetted sites, or to the abrupt process of rewetting, resulting in the disappearance of relic populations of rare and characteristic macroinvertebrate species (Van Duinen et al, 2003).…”

“…Recovery of characteristic fauna is often assumed to follow automatically in course of time. Although animals, and especially invertebrates, make up an important part of the total species diversity, relatively little attention has been paid to how restoration measures affect the fauna (Longcore, 2003;Van Duinen et al, 2003;Van Kleef et al, 2006).…”

“…The differences in species assemblage were attributed to fast and large-scaled changes in the water table caused by large-scaled rewetting measures and to lower habitat diversity in rewetted areas. Populations of rare and characteristic macroinvertebrate species, that were able to persist in degraded bog remnants, can respond negatively to rewetting of raised bog remnants (Van Duinen et al, 2003).…”

Species differ in their life cycle, habitat demands and dispersal capacity. Consequently different species or species groups may respond differently to restoration measures. To evaluate effects of restoration measures in raised bog remnants on aquatic microinvertebrates, species assemblages of Rotifera and microcrustaceans were sampled in 10 rewetted and 10 non-rewetted sites, situated in 7 Dutch raised bog remnants. A total of 129 species (Rotifera 108, Cladocera 15, Copepoda 6 species) were found. The species assemblages, total numbers of species and numbers of characteristic raised bog species did not differ between the 10 rewetted and 10 non-rewetted sites. The dominant pattern in the variation in microinvertebrate assemblages could be explained by the presence or absence of open water and variation in physico-chemical variables of surface water and organic matter. Furthermore, the species assemblages of water bodies situated in the same area were on average more similar to each other than to assemblages from other areas. These differences between areas may be due to differences in environmental conditions of water bodies, and possibly also to differences in the local species pool and the subsequent immigration sequence of species. We conclude that, in contrast to earlier findings on aquatic macroinvertebrates, populations of microinvertebrate species, including characteristic species, can either persist in the raised bog remnants during the process of rewetting or (re-)establish within a relatively short period of time (less than about 5 years).

“…There is a growing recognition of the need to include invertebrates, an important component of peatland biodiversity (Cross, 1990), in planning and assessment of peatland conservation measures (van Duinen et al, 2003). Due to the impracticality of monitoring the total invertebrate fauna (Sauberer et al, 2004), even in a species-poor habitats such as active and degraded raised bog, surrogate species or biodiversity indicators are needed to act as proxies for other less well-known taxa (McGeoch, 1998).…”

Poisson generalised linear models were fitted to our count data and assessed using the Akaike information criterion (AIC) values. Models that included designation status were preferred for six species, three of which were more abundant on designated sites and three were more abundant on degraded sites. We discuss these findings in relation to the species' known autecologies. Larval food plant choice, particularly due to the presence of invasive and non-typical plants, explained the alignment of species with undesignated sites. Other factors such as structural heterogeneity or nectar availability, may explain the alignment of most species with designated sites.4. Rank abundance diagrams (RADs) of the total moth community were similar between protected and degraded sites, but the RADs of bog-associated species of conservation concern were different between protected and degraded sites with rarer bog associates being relatively better represented at the protected sites. This result was supported by Multi-response permutation-procedure (MRPP) analysis.5. In general, differences between moth communities on degraded and protected raised bogs are rather subtle, with assemblages on both site types generally similar, but there is evidence that the "coarse filter" approach to conservation is working for some of the most important moth communities i.e. those that are bog-associated and of conservation concern. However, degraded sites may have a role to play in peatland invertebrate conservation, hitherto undervalued.3
