A diverse range of bird species has been recorded at a solar park on rewetted peatland in Germany, suggesting that combining ...

Researchers in Germany have found that solar panels on rewetted peatland provide a unique habitat for bird species along with generating green energy and potentially locking up carbon. Installing ...

In a recent study published in Restoration Ecology, researchers from the University of Eastern Finland measured post-restoration Sphagnum moss layer growth on 18 peatland sites in Finland 10 years ...

By Bobby Bascomb Peatlands are boggy wet ecosystems found from boreal forests in the Russian Arctic to the tropics of central ...

Arctic peatlands are expanding with rising temperatures, storing more carbon at least for now. But future warming could reverse this benefit, releasing massive emissions. Drone image of the research ...

Peatlands are one of the world’s biggest carbon sinks. These naturally waterlogged boggy swamps can hold thousands of years’ worth of compressed, partially decomposed vegetation matter — despite ...

The Pennine hills are likely to become ground zero for combating climate change. In northern England’s peatland bogs, thousands of strategically made holes, called “scallop bunds,” are aiding in ...

Experts say a focus on re-wetting our parched peat would significantly dampen down the UK's fire-driven carbon emissions and help mitigate against climate change. A new study led by the University of ...

A type of wetland that provides an incredible carbon-storing capacity. This could be an excellent way to describe a peatland. Found in practically every climate zone in the world, this type of ...

The world’s peatlands are highly diverse, from moss dominated, boreal and alpine Sphagnum bogs to tropical peat swamp forests with trees up to 70 m tall, yet they all share distinctive, harsh, ...
