“…oleifolia when grown in soil culture and that this differential response corresponds to the ecology of the two species, S. cinerea heing found in generally wetter habitats. Large amounts of iron were accumulated in the leaf tissues of waterlogged S. caprea and the plants showed symptoms similar to those previously identified as iron toxicity in Erica cinerea (Jones & Etherington, 1970;Jones, 1971a,h). Assimilation of ^^COg by leaf discs showed that photosynthetic potential was much reduced by waterlogging m S. caprea but unaffected in 5. cinerea.…”

“…caprea and in the previous study with E. cinerea (Jones & Etherington, 1970;Jones, 1971a,b) caused leaf discolouration followed by leaf desiccation and death or abscission. This suggests that iron toxicity may be a main cause of waterlogging injury in those plants which survive the early stages of flooding which are so damaging or lethal to species such as Pisum sativum (Jackson, 1979) or Chamerion angustifolium (Etherington, 1984).…”

“…caprea leaves was more than 2000 pig g^^, a level which was almost certainly toxic. Root concentrations of iron, even in normal soils or in nutrient solutions with trace-iron supplies, are often substantially greater than those of equivalent leaf tissues (Jones & Etherington, 1970;Jones, 1971b), hence it is not surprising that the background concentration in roots of these Salix spp. is over 1500/Agg~^ Presumably much of this iron in roots is apoplastic and thus non-toxic.…”

Summary Rooted cuttings of Salix caprea and of S. cinerea ssp. oleifolia were supplied with 0 to 320 mg Fe2+ dm3 as sulphate dissolved in nutrient solution either at a constant concentration or supplied incrementally. Photosynthesis and respiration of the treated plants was monitored by infrared gas analysis for periods of 4 to 7 d. Control shoots, in air‐bubbled or nitrogen‐bubbled solutions, maintained constant rates of photosynthesis and dark respiration during the experimental period. S. cinerea was unaffected by a constant concentration of 160 mg Fe2+dm3 or incremental additions reaching 320 mg Fe2+ dm−3. S. caprea was unaffected by 10 mg Fe2+ dm3, but a constant concentration of 40 mg Fe2+ dm3 or incremental additions reaching 40 mg Fe2+ dm3 caused almost total inhibition of photosynthesis and considerable reduction of respiration. Repeating these experiments using cuttings with excised roots increased the sensitivity of both species so that, even in S. cinerea, 10 mg Fe2+ dm3 was inhibitory to photosynthesis.

SUMMARYNine populations of Carexflacca Schreb., collected from sites which vary widely in their liability to soil flooding, were grown on an experimental soil with free drainage, transient flooding or continuous flooding for 26 weeks. Although the flooding treatments resulted in low redox potentials and high concentrations of reduced iron and manganese in the soil, the growth of C. flacca plants was little affected by flooding. All populations grew equally well on the flooded soils. All populations produced adventitious roots at the soil surface in the flooded treatments; these were absent from plants grown on the freely drained soil. Flooding produced an increase in the manganese concentration of roots and shoots but, although the iron content of roots was markedly increased by flooding, there was no increased transport to the shoots.In view ofthe absence of detectable phenotypic diflPerentiation between these populations from widely contrasting sites and their unimpaired growth on severely waterlogged soils, it is argued that C. flacca plants have a broad tolerance (phenotypic flexibility) of soil flooding. This may be important in the wide ecological amplitude of this species.

Poisson generalised linear models were fitted to our count data and assessed using the Akaike information criterion (AIC) values. Models that included designation status were preferred for six species, three of which were more abundant on designated sites and three were more abundant on degraded sites. We discuss these findings in relation to the species' known autecologies. Larval food plant choice, particularly due to the presence of invasive and non-typical plants, explained the alignment of species with undesignated sites. Other factors such as structural heterogeneity or nectar availability, may explain the alignment of most species with designated sites.4. Rank abundance diagrams (RADs) of the total moth community were similar between protected and degraded sites, but the RADs of bog-associated species of conservation concern were different between protected and degraded sites with rarer bog associates being relatively better represented at the protected sites. This result was supported by Multi-response permutation-procedure (MRPP) analysis.5. In general, differences between moth communities on degraded and protected raised bogs are rather subtle, with assemblages on both site types generally similar, but there is evidence that the "coarse filter" approach to conservation is working for some of the most important moth communities i.e. those that are bog-associated and of conservation concern. However, degraded sites may have a role to play in peatland invertebrate conservation, hitherto undervalued.3
