| Abstract/Contents: | "Golf courses increasingly provide protection for diminishing wildlife resources including heath and moorland dominated by Calluna vulgaris (heather). Frequently, because of incorrect management, stands of Calluna become invaded by scrub or grasses, or may be allowed to degenerate with age. Two trials were undertaken on a golf course to compare different methods of reinstatement of Calluna. These entailed main plot treatments of: [1] scarification of the soil surface; [2] burning; [3] rotovation and sub-plot treatments comprising: [i] spreading brashings (cut heather stems); [ii] spreading of heather capsules; [iii] spreading of capsules with a nurse grass mixture; [iv] leaving the surface bare. The results showed that of the main plot treatments, surface scarification was the most effective method of encouraging heather seedling establishment. Of the sub-plot treatments, leaving the surface bare and spreading of capsules with a nurse grass mixture were the most effective treatments. The implications of the results for reinstatement of heather on golf courses are discussed." |
