“…Chambers et al., 1999; Smith & Bird, 2005; Shepherd et al., 2013), with the risk of pollutant run‐off to adjacent reservoirs, as well as highly variable and unpredictable longer term outcomes (C. N. R. Critchley et al., 2008; Marrs et al., 2004). The introduction of scarce or absent mire species, such as Sphagnum , is a viable alternative management tool (Shepherd et al., 2013), and there is mounting evidence for an increase in diversity along with a wide range of other benefits resulting from land management activities that focus on re‐wetting and raising water tables on upland blanket bogs (Alderson et al., 2019; Anderson, 2015; Buckler et al., 2013; Regensburg et al., 2021; Shuttleworth et al., 2019). These activities include revegetation, blocking gullies, ditches, bunds and pipes and inoculating with Sphagnum propagules.…”
