Carbon and nitrogen losses from degraded wetlands and methane emissions from flooded
wetlands are both important sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, the net …

Northern peatlands store globally-important amounts of carbon in the form of partly
decomposed plant detritus. Drying associated with climate and land-use change may lead to …

Peatlands are a globally important carbon store, but peatland ecosystems from high
latitudes to the tropics are highly degraded due to increasingly intensive anthropogenic …

Peatlands have been important terrestrial carbon (C) reservoirs throughout the Holocene,
yet whether these ecosystems will become stronger or weaker C sinks in the future remains …

Peatlands are a vast global carbon store. Both climate change and management have
shaped peatlands over millennia, sometimes negatively, sometimes positively. Across the …

Despite substantial contrary evidence, there has been a growing tendency to present
prescribed vegetation burning as a management practice that is always damaging to …

Question Northern peatlands are increasingly threatened by wildfire. Severe peatland
wildfires can provide opportunities for new non‐peatland species to colonise post fire …

The heathland ecosystems of north-west Europe have been shaped by fire for millennia
(Gimingham 1972; Simmons 2003). Although this may seem surprising for a region not …

It has been claimed that geographical variability could alter conclusions from some studies
examining the impacts of prescribed moorland burning, including the Effects of Moorland …

This project assessed the impacts of 741 potential land management actions, suitable for
agricultural land in England, on the Farming & Countryside Programme's Environmental …
