Abstract

Conservation of natural values within farming practice is growing rapidly within the Netherlands. The focus is primarily on terrestrial flora and fauna such as the vegetation in ditch banks and meadow birds. Knowledge needed to enhance biodiversity in ditches is limited. Therefore, a field study was set up to determine the effects of dredging, ditch cleaning and nutrient supply in the adjacent fields on caddisfly, dragonfly and amphibian larvae in the ditches in a peat area.
