Are we restoring functional fens? - The outcomes of restoration projects in fens re-analysed with plant functional traits.

In peatland restoration we often lack an information whether re-established ecosystems are functionally similar to non-degraded ones. We re-analysed the long-term outcomes of restoration on vegetation and plant functional traits in 38 European fens restored by rewetting (18 sites) and topsoil remova...
