"The sad reality at the moment is that our peat bogs are in such poor condition that they're net emitters of carbon, because they're degrading," said Goulson. "They've been drained and damaged, through peat extraction and so on. They should be our allies, they sh...
The Eagles return to the Super Bowl stage with a matchup against the Chiefs awaiting them once again. It's fitting that the team that was the Chiefs’ first conquest in their quest for a three-peat is the same unit attempting to end their reign and deny them the chance at NFL history....

This wildlife refuge consists of over 43,000 acres of peat bogs, sedge meadows, oak savannas, prairies, and wetlands, which cranes depend on. It is a biodiversity hotspot and home to over 230 bird species and a variety of endangered plants and animals. The abundant resources at Necedah ...
Decomposed peat is not easily restored, highlighting the importance of maintaining stable groundwater levels to preserve peatland integrity. To ensure the survival of functional peatlands and the continuity of their valuable ecosystem services in a changing climate, maintaining good ecological condition is...
