Due to declining traditional management, suitable habitat for the silver-studded blue butterfly is created only sporadically and is often short-lived

Grazing increases local diversity
Gimingham, 1975
Heather is quite resistant to repeated grazing. When the growing shoots are eaten there are short shoots ready to take their place or failing that, there are reserve buds beneath the soil.

Ancient woodlands are more like to contain more rare and native species than more recent woodlands
Mueller et al., 2007
Decaying wood provides important habitats for invertebrates and fungi
Ferris and Humphrey., 1999
Woodpeckers rely on dead wood because that is where they find much of their invertebrate prey
Gittings et al., 2006
80% of UK hoverflies are associated with open spaces and would not be predicted to be found in closed-canopy habitats.

Butterflies favour sunny conditions and do not like direct shade, with nearly all species loss of butterflies in the UK due to the decline of coppicing
Banks and Bryant., 2007
Dog walking in woodlands decreases bird diversity by 35% and abundance by 41%

With the presence of the pine marten, red squirrel populations increase and grey squirrel populations decrease.”
Manning et al., 2009
Native red deer populations are considered to be ecologically unstable so reintroducing wolves would reduce the population. However, their absence from the landscape can be a major barrier to the restoration of that species due to environmental conditions changing since extinction.

Corncrakes can respond rapidly to favourable management of suitable grassland habitats.
