Introduction -- Big Meadow Bog A Lost Backyard -- Climate Change on Brier Island Prospects for Long term Survival of Geum peckii -- Geological History and Ecosystems Evolution at Big Meadow Bog Brier Island Nova Scotia -- Pre And Post Restoration Hydrology of Big Meadow Bog.
En: Springer Nature eBookResumen: This book provides an overview of the history of this site and the complex effects of the hydrological and ecological changes through the landscape changes, vegetation adaptation, biovector contamination, and ultimately habitat restoration. Big Meadow Bog (Brier Island, Nova Scotia, Canada) is a wetland ecosystem with a history of human disturbance. It was ditched for small-scale blueberry production in the 1950s, which significantly altered the hydrology of the system and resulted in vegetation changes and colonization by 3000+ pairs of herring gulls by the 1980s. It is also host to the endangered plant species Eastern Mountain Avens which was the impetus for restoration of the site. This book provides the background to the restoration decisions, the monitoring and science post-restoration and the lessons learned from the science and through collaboration with government and community.
