Exotic plant species on brownfield land: their value to invertebrates of nature conservation importance (ENRR650)

This report reviews information on the status of invertebrate species of conservation concern within brownfield sites with the specific aim of assessing the value of exotic plant species in supporting populations of these invertebrates. In addition, this study aims to identify the key features of brownfield sites that play a role in sustaining populations of invertebrates of conservation importance. Recommendations are made for key principles for reclamation and management of brownfield sites to maximise their value for invertebrate fauna.
