Lowland wet grasslands support a wide range of biodiversity and provide important breeding grounds for many wader species. However, extensive drainage and conversion to arable cropping or intensively managed grassland has greatly reduced the abundance and quality of this habitat across Europe, and caused severe declines in many of the associated waders. Recent agri-environment initiatives provide opportunities to restore wet grasslands, but little is known about the key features necessary to support breeding waders and how these may conflict with commercial farming practises. For breeding waders, the re-introduction of water into the habitat is critically important, and this thesis examines methods of creating and managing within-field wet features and surface water, their impact on the distribution and breeding success of lapwing Vanellus vanellus, and the extent to which they are compatible with agricultural operations in the Broads, eastern England. Breeding lapwing are attracted to areas with extensive surface flooding. However, most surface water dries out during the breeding season. The creation of managed shallow wet features allowed water to be retained throughout the breeding season. Fields with higher wet features densities attracted significantly more nesting lapwing and foraging chicks, and chick condition was significantly improved. Invertebrate biomass and chick foraging rates were higher in wet features than in the surrounding grazing marsh. Neither nest or chick predation rates were related to the proximity of wet features, but predation rates declined with density of lapwing in the vicinity, suggesting an influence of collaborative nest and brood defence. Farmers were keen to enter agri-environment schemes and to use shallow wet features, provided the design was not too complex. Wet feature installation is relatively simple, but maintaining sufficient water levels is critical, especially in the face of increasingly unpredictable water supplies associated with climate change. If managed correctly, shallow wet features offer a tool that may be both effective at improving breeding wader populations and practicable for commercial grazing marsh management.

In the UK there are some 1.5 million hectars of low-lying land, much of which has the potential to be wet grassland. Most has been drained and improved for agriculture - only 109,500 hectares support breeding waders. There are 32 RDB/candidate RDB species of birds which depend or partly depend on lowland wet grassland. In addition, some 500 of the 1500 British vascular plant species and large numbers of invertibrate may be found in this habitat.
