The Fen is of special interest not only because of its faunal diversity, but also because of the continuity of recording which permits detection of local changes that may reflect national trends.
In both cases, the Fen appears to again afford a suitable habitat; the former species is currently (1993) the subject of a pilot study (Dr. McLean, English Nature) and the latter is being reintroduced in 1993.
This sub-community appeared to be developing over large areas of the Fen, but, since the early 1980s, it has regressed for reasons which are poorly understood, but in which high water tables and the death of Frangula may play a part.

Just as the day was breaking, Barlow's and Birney's divisions of Hancock's corps pressed forward upon the unsuspecting foe, and leaping the breastworks after a hand-to-hand conflict with the bewildered enemy, in which guns were used as clubs, possessed themselves of the intrenchments.
Colonel Upton saw at once that this point must be held at all hazards, for if Lee should recover the angle, he would push back our lines right and left, and the fruits of the morning's victory would be lost.

 SAC selection - 7210 Calcareous fens with Cladium mariscus and species of the Caricion davallianae
Calcareous fens are rare in the UK, having a restricted and discontinuous geographical range with two main centres of distribution: the Broadlands of East Anglia and, to a lesser extent, the fen systems of Anglesey.
There are important species-rich transitions from Cladium fen to mire with fl bog-rush Schoenus nigricans and blunt-flowered rush Juncus subnodulosus, as well as to fen-meadow vegetation with purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea and meadow thistle Cirsium dissectum.
The habitat type forms large-scale mosaics with other fen types, open water and woodland, and important associated plant species are the Annex II 1903 Fen orchid Liparis loeselii (found at Upton Fen), marsh helleborine Epipactis palustris, lesser tussock-sedge Carex diandra, slender sedge C.
