20 Small ponds were constructed at the Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve in 1961 and 3elsewhere in the reserve in 1974 and 1977. The twenty ponds were allowed to develop naturallyexcept for scrub control on their perimeters. In the other (Heathfield) ponds emergent plants wereplanted immediately after their construction. The ponds were visited near noon on fine days asoften as possible and the numbers of adult and teneral dragonflies were recorded. Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NACitation(s)
