Germany is working to restore peatlands that were once drained for agriculture—a practice that released vast quantities of carbon dioxide and harmed the rich plant and animal life in marshes and bogs.

Turning Farmland Back to Peatland: Can It Slow CO2 Emissions?

Farmers have long drained peatlands for agriculture, but the dried-out soils release vast quantities of CO2. To halt this process, new initiatives in Germany are not only rewetting peatlands but also ...

As part of the @peatmothership.bsky.social project we are organising a series of workshops focusing on modelling the carbon cycle in peatlands. The workshops will share best practice. Today's first workshop introduced some of the models that include a peat implementation. Further dates soon!
