Habitat timeline

Interventions and site work

S.W.A.N. can establish a baseline, mark habitat work and compare the following period without claiming automatic causation.

Methodology

Recording effort is considered before trends are shown.

Heartbeat coverage is used for new data. Older periods may use a conservative lower-bound estimate based on detection activity. Comparisons marked limited or indicative should not be treated as proof of ecological cause and effect.
