NatureScot Commissioned Report 544: Experimental marsh fritillary habitat restoration project Avongovie, Islay
This site specific report highlights experimental work starting in 2008/09 to restore habitat suitable for marsh fritillary on peatland formally occupied by conifers. The project examines the effect of sowing Succisa pratensis (devil’s-bit scabious) and whether long term marsh fritillary habitat can be created on land that has previously been planted with spruce.
