UK peatland restoration: Some economic arithmetic

Science of The Total Environment, 2014
Over 80% of UK peatlands are degraded to some extent and their widespread restoration could contribute to meeting various climate change, water quality and biodiversity policy challenges. Economic analysis of costs and benefits is, however, hampered by scientific uncertainty and a lack of data on biophysical conditions as well as the impacts and costs ...

Peatland Restoration and Ecosystem Services

2016
Peatlands provide globally important ecosystem services through climate and water regulation or biodiversity conservation. While covering only 3% of the earth's surface, degrading peatlands are responsible for nearly a quarter of carbon emissions from the land use sector.

Peatland restoration and the historic environment Standards for delivering environmentally sustainable peatland restoration projects

2022
Peatland landscapes contain some of our most significant historic environment features which are often exceptionally well preserved. They provide valuable environmental, social and economic public goods and services, yet peat degradation means we are losing these sites at an unprecedented rate.

Peatland restoration and ecosystem services: an introduction

2016
Setting the scene In September 1997, the airports of Singapore and Kuala Lumpur shut down for several days. Fires from drained peatlands in Indonesia, over 1000 km away, were emitting vast clouds of smoke causing haze and poor visibility across large parts of South East Asia in the extremely dry El Niño year.

Managing Phosphorus Release from Restored Minerotrophic Peatlands

2016
The nutrient pollution of water bodies is a globally distributed environmental problem. An important strategy to mitigate the non-point phosphorus and nitro- gen pollution is to restore minerotrophic riparian peatlands (also termed 'fens'). Originally natural fens served important functions as sinks for nutrients and as hydrological buffers for ...

Afforested and forestry-drained peatland restoration

2016
Introduction Restoration of afforested peatlands was initially driven by recognition of the high biodiversity value and increasing scarcity of peatlands in their natural state. Now we recognise that peatlands also play an important role in climate regulation, raising the question: should we be restoring afforested peatlands on a large scale as a ...
