Description:
To help stem this decline, wetland areas are now being preserved and where possible created. This study investigated water quality in a recreated reed bed in south-west England designed specifically to provide habitat for birds. Since June 2000, continuous measurements of temperature, pH, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen have been logged. These data enable the partial pressure of CO2 to be calculated. This paper looks at the data collected up to November 2001. Despite similar solar radiation and water temperature conditions in both 2000 and 2001, peak summertime values of dissolved oxygen dropped from 〉100% to 7.7 to
