Urban Roots Malls Mire Invertebrate Records 2014

This dataset was gathered by Caledonian Conservation during an invertebrate survey of Malls Mire in 2014, as commissioned by Urban Roots. Malls Mire is approximately 8ha in area and habitats comprise mixed plantation, marshy grassland and wet woodland. The site is near Rutherglen and situated adjacent to the M74 and railway, housing estates and amenity grassland. The adjacent land-use poses an ecological barrier to the site; the closest semi-natural greenspace is over 500m away beyond the M74. For this reason, Malls Mire is an extremely important resource to its invertebrate fauna.
