  9. DMS Grip blocking

  10. Four year effect of Grip blocking • Goyt – grip blocked and infilling with vegetation naturally • Outcome – reduced amplitude of water table, water table closer to surface, so blanket bog condition will be wetter and more consistently wet with fewer drying periods. 2008 2006 2009

  11. Effect of Grip blocking on the water table High amplitude and low water table in unblocked grips Much reduced amplitude and higher water table after blocking (pre-dated equipment installation – settling period needed first)

  12. Effect of Grip blocking on vegetation • Grip blocking has resulted in increased Sphagna in places
