Quantifying the impact of wildfires in Northern Ireland: Final Report 2016

During the unusually warm and dry conditions of spring 2011 numerous wildfires occurred in upland habitats across Northern Ireland resulting in damage within Areas of SpecialScientific Interest (ASSIs).This project aims to establish the broad ecological impact of such events and the degree of recovery over a short-term (3.5 years) period post-wildfires; on dry heath, wet heath and blanket bog habitats of conservation concern.
