Renaturalization and Valorization of Peatland Biodiversity

This study arises from a context of defining restoration's strategies for Azores Ramsar areas. It's intended to create information for a strategic definition of proposals for restoration.

- It was initiated in March 2012 the season of fieldwork (GPR) for structural characterization dtudies of Sphagnum peatland.

 

- It was established a protocol with DRRF (Regional Direction of Forest Resources) for the disposal areas for the experimental studies on restoration processes in grazed peatland.

 

- Acquisition of a GPR (Georadar or Ground Penetrating Radar "GPR Software Reflexw"), acquired by GEVA (Group of Ecology and Applied Vegetation studies), with support of the Regional Direction for Science and Technology and Equipment through the program: "Acquisition of Scientific Equipment CCMMG/2009 - Bioclimate and Water Resources".

 

- Acquisition of a Probe ("Toikka Peat Probe SL Sensor and Extensions") for measuring the relative humidity at diferent depths, acquired by GEVA (Group of Ecology and Applied Vegetation studies), with support of the Regional Direction for Science and Technology and Equipment through the program: "Acquisition of Scientific Equipment CCMMG/2009 - Bioclimate and Water Resources".
