Organisation profile

The Pwllpeira‌‌n Upland Research‌‌ Centre is a centre for the study of upland farmed ecosystems. It is located in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains, West Wales, immediately adjacent to the Elenydd Special Area of Conservation.

The range of vegetation types offered at the Centre is extensive and covers a continuum from intensively-managed improved swards to mountain pasture.‌ This diversity enables the impact of different management scenarios to be tested on a range of vegetation types at a single site, minimising confounding with climatic and other environmental factors. The semi-natural communities present include habitats of international conservation importance.
