Book Description
Faunal studies have shown that the ground-living non-aquatic fauna is dominated by ground beetles (Carabidae) and rove beetles (Staphylinidae). This report reviews the ecological literature on wetland and riparian species and encompasses morphological, behavioural and life history adaptations, habitats, studies on species assemblages and use in conservation assessment. It provides a guide to sampling methods and sources of information on species identification, distribution and ecology, and draws attention to the need for an improved regional network of museum reference collections. Selection of wetland species for inclusion in the review was based on the literature and a database of 870 samples. Each species is annotated with summary details of conservation status, main habitat and microhabitat and also an estimate of fidelity status.

Down By the River
Author: Benjamin Gearey
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 178570169X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
East Anglia has long been known for its internationally significant cultural and environmental Palaeolithic archaeology, often overshadowing the potential of its Holocene resource. This volume details the results of 8 years of palaeoenvironmental, archaeological and geoarchaeological investigations focused on the post-glacial history and evolution of the Suffolk river valleys, funded by Historic England and a number of commercial developers. The volume illustrates the largely untapped research potential of the region and provides information concerning the timing, pattern and process of alluvial development, landscape change, and human activity. The highlight of these investigations was the excavation and associated analyses of three well-preserved later prehistoric timber alignments and their environmental records, discovered during flood alleviation works on the floodplain of the lower Waveney Valley. As well as documenting these internationally significant remains, the research described includes innovative approaches to wetland archaeological and palaeoenvironmental study, highlighting important methodological considerations with respect to radiocarbon dating and chronology, applying novel geophysical approaches to site prospection, and recording wooden artefacts using 3-D laser scanning. The volume also discusses the results of groundwater monitoring of sediments containing the late prehistoric timber alignment at Beccles and considers the longer-term preservation potential of these fragile remains, which – as with other wetland archaeological sites – are at ever increasing risk from development pressures, as well as the longer term impacts of climate and environmental change.
