The management of the UK uplands by rotational burning and grazing is a widespread practice that aims to control the development of vegetation in order to create suitable habitats for grouse and sheep. By modifying the above ground biomass it is poss... Read More about Hydrological responses to managed burning and grazing in an upland blanket bog.

Journal Article
Clay, G., Worrall, F., & Fraser, E. (2009). Effects of managed burning upon Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in soil water and runoff water following a managed burn of a UK blanket bog. Journal of Hydrology, 367(1-2), 41-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2008.12.022

The burning of heather and grass to maintain a mosaic of different aged vegetation stands is a widespread management practice in the uplands of the UK. However, there is concern that burning also releases dissolved organic carbon (DOC) into drinking...
