Satellites capture a troubling environmental counter-response: browning. When warming outpaces ecosystem adaptation, vegetation dies, pests surge, and underground "zombie wildfires" rise. These fires burn deep into organic peatlands, destroying the insulating layer protecting the permafrost.

🛑 Jakie są bariery utrudniające zwiększenie skali renaturyzacji torfowisk w Europie?
Podziel się swoimi spostrzeżeniami do 25 maja!
W imieniu Eurosite - the European Land Conservation Network przekazujemy zaproszenie kierowane do specjalistów i organizacji działających na rzecz renaturyzacji torfowisk (lub współpracujące przy takich działaniach) do udziału w krótkiej, ale bardzo istotnej ankiecie realizowanej w ramach projektu LIFE SUPER EU, którego celem jest zwiększenie skali renaturyzacji torfowisk w Europie.

Not all wetlands are protected equally, but an environmental group hopes to change that
New Brunswick doesn't currently require a watercourse and wetland alteration permit for commercial activity on peatlands.

Of course, #EGU26 starts with the most exciting sessions on Day 1. With #peatlands! Looking forward to discussing #paludiculture, restoration and management in my session, co-convened with @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Hanna Silvennoinen. #TrainToEGU
Peatlands are vital for tackling climate change, yet scientists still haven’t found them all | The-14

Peatlands store vast carbon yet remain poorly mapped worldwide. New research highlights urgent gaps in knowledge & their critical role in climate change action.

High-latitude peatlands aren’t responding to warming in a single way: some are drying, others are getting wetter. These contrasting shifts reveal how uneven climate impacts can be across northern ecosystems 🌿

The analysis of mercury isotopes deposited from #seabird guano into #peatlands serves as a continuous geochemical proxy to reconstruct ancient seabird population dynamics and correlate them with historical climatic shifts over millennia.

Ancient poo reveals uncertain future for Antarctic seabirds

Layers of ancient bird poo preserved in the peatlands of the sub-Antarctic island of Bird Island have given scientists a window into 8,000 years
