Restoration of Degraded Boreal Peatlands [PDF]
, 2006 Even though Sphagnum mosses are not easy plants to manipulate on artificial substrates or in nonnatural environments, it is possible to revegetate large expanses of cutover peatland at a relatively low cost (in the range of US $900–1400 per hectare). Only long term monitoring of the current restoration projects will confirm if it is possible to restore
