Blanket bog vegetation response to wildfire and drainage suggests resilience to low severity, infrequent burning

Table 1 Study design detailing the quadrat types and their distribution at the five study sites

For each quadrat type, the numbers are presented as Plots × Points within Plot (Total). Here, plots represent spatially independent replicates and points are randomly selected locations within each plot where quadrats are placed, in a ~ 125-m radius or along a 100-m transect (drain quadrat). All ME quadrats were classed as “Drained” (DR) given the lack of microtopography and the extent of peat cutting in this area. For further details, see Martin-Walker et al. 2022
