#Moss in #Peatlands
1 yr ago I wrote my first article for Peatpedia. I had no idea if a boggy blog would be successful! Turns out it was a good choice!
Sadly, the issues for #peatlands & #climate remain unchanged, just more urgent. Take a read & please share 🌎🌿
Common #cranes once inhabited Irish #peatlands in flocks of hundreds; they are now returning. The success represents an ecological and cultural rebirth for #Ireland, returning a member of the extended Irish family to their rightful place on the landscape. (1)

I'd give anything to be there in person to hear him speak. If you are in or near Dublin, don't miss the chance. #peatlands #rewilding #rewetting #restoration #bogs #CarbonSinks #ClimateActionNow
We know what happens when our landscapes — the very landscapes that sustain our resilience — are sacrificed to the greed of a few.
Watch “Empty Lands”. It might makes you angry. Good.

🚨 New paper out in Communications Earth & Environment! 🧪 We mapped 590 #peatlands across the European Alps 🏔️ using multi-sensor #remote_sensing 🛰️ and identified widespread signs of degradation and gaps in inventories. Contributes to @excellentia.bsky.social and its mission. doi.org/10.1038/s432...

We want #peat out of our homes for good! #Peatlands are being dug up & destroyed to help grow food & other products that appear in our homes... faster than they can form. Ask your supermarket to join you in going #PeatFree as part of the @peatfree.bsky.social campaign👇

🌱 Human disturbance may speed #carbon loss from #peatlands. In a 511-day study, added road material accelerated #peat #decomposition 1.4–4.5×, while #plant and #wood inputs also altered #CO2 release. #Climate #Wetlands
Former peatlands remain emission sources after solar farms are built #climateemissions #peatlands #solarpower

📰 Rewetting peatlands may curb warming-driven CO₂ emissions
Peatlands store large amounts of carbon.

🟫 Peatlands flip from carbon store to carbon leak
German researchers tracked 113 site years of bog data. On warm days, a low water table makes peatlands pump out far more CO2, a high water table holds it down.
