Abstract
Damp grasslands are disappearing at an alarming rate, due to drainage and agricultural changes. Consequently their breeding waders have experienced fragmentation of range, with notable concentrations now at a few key sites. A 1982 survey has provided a much-needed assessment of the current situation.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
