NatureScot Research Report 1051 - SCM survey of upland notified features on designated sites - North End of Bute
Site Condition Monitoring (SCM) is NatureScot's rolling programme of monitoring of the condition of natural features (habitats, species populations and earth science interests) on protected areas in Scotland. This report summarises the field data collected by Colin Wells and Ruth Maier during SCM of the upland assemblage natural feature on North End of Bute Site of Special Scientific Interest. The upland assemblage was found to be in unfavourable condition due to the effects of recent intense fires and over-grazing by sheep. These conditions have led to the invasion of bracken over wet and dry heath habitats.
