Abstract
Although the focus of many restoration/liming studies lies with the improvement of surface water quality and its associated fauna and flora. a variety of studies on the associated terrestrial ecosystems have been undertaken at Loch Fleet, as well as at other restoration sites. The objectives are partly to deduce soil and hydrological conditions as revealed by vegetation, and to assess the contribution of terrestrial components, for example for fish diets, and furthermore to provide a basis for assessing any changes in the associated terrestrial environment as a consequence of liming or other restoration techniques.
