Wetland and peatland restoration. The potential benefits include increased biodiversity, better water quality, reduced flood risk, and opportunities for ecotourism. The potential challenges include greenhouse gas emissions that could be released during the restoration process, as well as the complexity of ...
Testate amoebae are widely used in ecological and palaeoecological studies of peatlands, particularly as indicators of surface wetness. To ensure data are robust and comparable it is important to consider methodological factors which may affect results. One significant question which has not been ...
Our economy's reliance on Nature is evident: PWC's research reveals that '55% of the world's GDP is exposed to material Nature risks.' Similarly, S&P Global notes that 85% of the largest companies significantly depend on Nature in their operations. The European Central Bank (ECB) estimates...
Peat moss is decomposed organic matter that occurs naturally in cold, marshy ecosystems. Most peat moss sold in the northern hemisphere is harvested from the chilly peatlands of Canada and the northern United States. Peat moss is not a plant species but rather an amalgamation of fibrous material...

What is the big concern about the rate of CO_2 change in Earth's climate? What are the main factors that affect Earth's climate? Describe greenhouse gases and their role in current climate change. How could the effects of global warming impact peatlands? what could happen to CO2...
(planting new trees to create a forest) or reforestation (replanting trees where they previously existed) — because trees absorb CO2through photosynthesis. Protecting and restoring other natural ecosystems, such as peatlands, coastal wetlands, savannas and grasslands, can contribute to carbon ...
enjoying was far from the rule in those parts. We watched what we are almost certain was a Golden Eagle climbing a thrermal overhead, and then took a stile over a deer fence and scrambled through rough peatland to the summit, where we had views to the sea on the east and on the ...
A mire, peatland, or quagmire is a wetland area dominated by living peat-forming plants. Mires arise because of incomplete decomposition of organic matter, usually litter from vegetation, due to water-logging and subsequent anoxia. Swamp An area of low-lying land that is frequently flooded, espe...
