Abstract

Woodlands are complex, stratified communities; they are more than just the trees. This project examined the feasibility of enhancing woodland ground flora in woodland plantings at Whatley Quarry in order to improve their biodiversity value. To do this the site conditions at Whatley were determined, conditions required for specialist woodland ground flora researched, and means of propagation and colonisation reviewed.
