DOC and pH of the pothole water in peatlands, where the peat profiles were taken from, were also analysed.

Somerset's peatland archaeology; managing and investigating a fragile resource; the results of the Monuments at Risk in Somerset Peatlands (MARISP) Project.

A BID to restore a million hectares of UK peatlands to store carbon, manage water supplies and support wildlife is being launched.

Peatlands have been used for peat extraction for centuries.

The study will explore the known qualities of peatlands that soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the hope of promoting biodiversity and high-quality water, and if the fire damaged the peatland's ability to do this.

Release date- 14082019 - A new way to 'take the pulse' of carbon emissions could help track how the industrial development of peatlands contributes to climate change, as well as measure their recovery once development ends.

Peatlands refer to large areas of accumulated peat, many of which were formed after the Ice Age as a result of melting glaciers or rising underground water levels.

AS a new national report underlines the financial value of heathy peatlands, work is forging ahead to reverse the damage done over recent decades to the upland habitat in the region.

The SCOTLAND:The Big Picture Conference will explore the potential for rewilding large parts of Scotland's forests, peatlands, rivers, moorlands and seas, and the benefits this could bring for declining wildlife such as red squirrel, wildcat and capercaillie, as well as for people's health, wellbeing and employment.

The unchecked depletion of peatlands for the last four to five decades in different valleys of Chitral has been going unnoticed as a potential factor of climate change leading to an imminent colossal damage to the already fragile ecosystem.

"Lichen from peatlands was used to dye wool, while priority was given to rush candle making at a time when wax candles were taxed."

The sequestration of C in peatlands follows from an imbalance between biomass production on the one hand and decomposition and lateral discharge on the other hand, with production exceeding losses (Clymo 1983).
