The wonderful Sphagnum sporangium or capsule, its lid on the cusp of popping open to disperse thousands of precious spores into the breeze...what a beautiful little treasure within the living carpet of Fartrin bog, Co. Cavan @sphagnums.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social

These semi submerged sundews caught my eye in the swampy depths of Fartrin bog 💕 their sticky tentacles entangling.... exquisite little carnivores!!! @peatlandecr.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @claireissimo.bsky.social @irishwildlifetrust.bsky.social

Happy that an improved version of our preprint Linking biosurface reactivity and photosynthesis to investigate Sphagnum mosses as peatland engineers has been accepted for publication. Stay tuned. #sphagnum #moss #peatlands #climatechange #photosynthesis www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Did someone say peatland ecology? Sphagnum mosses are truly incredible! #peat #bogs #boglands #wetlands

Just 2.3% of England's peatland emissions come from moorland managed for grouse. Over 92% come from lowland peat converted to cropland, grassland and forestry. Policy should follow the data. Read more → link is in replies:

Water brings #peatlands to life. Water is needed for peat soils to form and build up over time, and to sustain the resulting carbon-rich ecosystems. These large peaty water stores are important for water security and climate resilience, but they are undervalued. open.substack.com/pub/peatpedi...

Peatlands cover only 3% of Denmark’s land area, yet drained peat soils account for around 25% of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Finding viable alternatives is therefore critical. 🧪🌎 www.wethorizons.eu/resources/#s... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The Congo Basin is emitting large volumes of CO2 via peatland lakes. Over thousands of years, the swamps and peatlands have accumulated and stored huge amounts of carbon, which they are now releasing with long-term impacts on the global climate.  ethz.ch/en/news-and-... #emissions #wetlands #Congo
