Peatlands store large amounts of terrestrial carbon and any changes to their carbon balance
could cause large changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of the Earth's …

From the red grouse to the Ethiopian bush-crow, bird populations around the world can
provide us with vital insights into the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems …

Peatland rewetting has been proposed as a vital climate change mitigation tool to reduce

Over the past 15 years there has been a proliferation of projects aiming to restore the
structure and function of UK upland blanket mires, primarily by revegetation of bare peat and …

Peatland areas provide a range of ecosystem services, including biodiversity, carbon
storage, clean water, and flood mitigation, but many areas of peatland in the UK have been …

Blanket peatlands are rain-fed mires that cover the landscape almost regardless of
topography. The geographical extent of this type of peatland is highly sensitive to climate …

Wetlands in general and mires in particular belong to the most important terrestrial carbon
stocks globally. Mires (ie bogs, transition bogs and fens) are assumed to be especially …

Ecosystem restoration and, in particular, peatland restoration, are considered a promising
greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation strategy to move towards net zero emissions. To remain …
