6.6 Threat: Human intrusions and disturbance
p. 385-386
Texte intégral

Unknown effectiveness (limited evidence)
Physically exclude vehicles from peatlands
1• Vegetation structure: One replicated, paired, controlled, site comparison study in a floating fen in the USA reported that fencing off airboat trails allowed total and non-woody vegetation biomass to increase, up to levels recorded in undisturbed fen. Woody plant biomass did not recover.
2• Overall plant richness/diversity: The same study reported that fencing off airboat trails allowed overall plant diversity to increase, recovering to levels recorded in undisturbed fen.
3• Assessment: unknown effectiveness – limited evidence (effectiveness 70 %; certainty 35 %; harms 0 %). Based on evidence from: fens (one study).

4We have captured no evidence for the following interventions:
- Restrict vehicle use on peatlands
- Restrict pedestrian access to peatlands
- Physically exclude pedestrians from peatlands
- Install boardwalks/paths to prevent trampling
- Wear snowshoes to prevent trampling
