‘The start of the healing process’: the vital work to restore Britain’s peatlands

€1.3 billion for peatland rewetting: A major step towards climate action in Europe. But how do these costs compare to the benefits? A recent study by SGGW shows that the value of ecosystem benefits is 10 to 50 times higher than restoration costs. Do not belive it read the study 👇

Are expanding northern peatlands cooling or warming the climate? It depends on how they develop🧪 This study combines paleoecology, remote sensing and hydrological modelling to examine peatland expansion and vegetation succession in a subarctic fen margin in Lapland bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...

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...
