Plant and invertebrate communities were monitored in 1999 to determine the effect of current designations on aspects of the biodiversity of Cuilcagh Mountain. The mountain was split into eight monitoring units based on ownership and management. Botanical survey and trapping of invertebrates was carried out at representative transects. This baseline survey reflected the major vegetation types, carabid beetle and spider communities within each unit. A full resurvey of plant and invertebrate monitoring sites was carried out in 2004. This enabled the effects of management practices on the dominant communities in each unit to be determined.
