New Study Shows Warm Temperatures and Specific Water Levels Are Needed to Restore European Peatlands

eawater

European peatlands, which contain around half of Europe’s soil carbon, need a combination of warm temperatures and a water table of around 10 cm to thrive, a new study by Queen’s University Belfast researchers has found. Peatlands form where there is a sustained build-up of partially decomposed plant matter, and they play a very important role in locking away greenhouse gases and absorbing industrial pollution. In Europe, peatlands contain approximately five times more carbon than its forests. However, they have been damaged by human activities including pollution, draining and climate…
