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.

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 🌿

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
