"One of the most unexpected findings is that the peatlands began forming during periods of the past when we think that the regional #climate was a lot drier than it is today... factors other than climate must have made the #soils wet enough for #peat to form... Compared to many tropical regions, the Congolese peatlands have largely escaped threats such as #deforestation and drainage"

JuneSim63"There is more carbon stored in peatlands than in all the above-ground vegetation in the world. They account for 3% of landmass, but hold at least 30% of soil carbon. Seventy per cent of the UK’s drinking water starts its journey on peatlands, where the bogs not only filter but also slow water, helping to mitigate flooding. This is why draining, extracting and turning peat into agricultural land has consequences"
‘It takes 25 years for a footprint to disappear’ – the secret, beguiling magic of Britain’s bogs
They are the air-conditioning units of the world – filtering water, preventing flooding, preserving history and providing habitat. Our human ancestors knew the extraordinary power of peatlands, so why are they still being destroyed?
Mark Burton67,000 homes in Ireland still use peat for heating. However, Bord Na Mona stopped extracting peat last year and closed its last peat power station. Now restoring peatlands which in a dried out, denatured state are carbon emitters. Big wind farms now on former extraction sites too. A great deal of historical damage has been done.

Bord na Móna, which was once a peat extraction company, has now committed to one of the largest peatland restoration projects ever undertaken. But many households still continue to cut turf, relying on it for heating

During restoration work on a fen an ancient oak was found. Preserved by the wet, aneorbic conditions the bog oak was in super condition. The tree grew nearly 5000 years ago, making it older than Stonehenge. The peat is being restored to help carbon capture.
