9. And recent work by @ProjectAuger estimates that Irish peatlands store a staggering 2.2 billion tonnes of carbon. However, less than 15% of Irish peatlands are in near-natural state, and the area actively sequestering carbon is likely to be even less.

Robust results from 5 years monitoring confirms that rewetting drained bogs 1) reduce C emissions 2) establish optimal conditions for C sequestration & 3) set the site on a climate cooling trajectory.

Natural regeneration of tropical #peatlands is possible! #Birds and #mammals disperse thousands of #seeds!
What do we do? - Identify and protect remaining forest patches, block canals in these patches, let nature do its thing!

Very interesting PhD topic on peat mining as an unwritten chapter in the fossil fuel age with a fantastic environmental historian
Considering a PhD in EnvHist? Trinity Centre for Environmental Humanities seeks applicants for fully-funded 4-year award to start a PhD related to the project: ‘Peat mining as an unwritten chapter in the fossil fuel age’ led by Dr Katja Bruisch.

#WorldSoilDay tomorrow 5 Dec, peatlands is our biggest store of carbon also in Ireland; From the atmosphere perspective, locking it in is just as good as trying to plant trees somewhere else. theguardian.com/environment/…
