Raised bogs and fens: Nature’s carbon vaults need different care
As part of the ReWet project, researchers monitored six Irish peatland sites, four fens and two raised bogs, between September 2023 and August 2024.
A new study led by Teagasc has highlighted the critical relationship between the drainage status of peat soils and localised rainfall in water table management.
The findings will be critical in identifying and targeting suitable sites for water table management, and ultimately maximising carbon storage potential in agricultural grassland peat soils.
