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. epa.ie/publications/r…
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. Funded by @EPAIreland @ProjectAuger onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… @EPAResearchNews
The AUGER report is out just in time to celebrate #WorldWetlandsDay2022 Irish bogs are the main subclass of wetlands in Ireland --> 1ha of near intact raised bog store 3000 tonnes of carbon We need to keep this carbon locked up as well as bring back clean water and biodiversity

Happy bog day this Sunday 26th July!
Happy bog day this Sunday 26th July!
Nor forgetting the pollution of water ways as carbon and ammonia are being pumped out of those boggy field into streams and drinking water supply :-(
This week #EGU20 we presented provisional results from the @ProjectAuger with our postdoc @APremrov gave insights into peatland biogeochemical modelling of CO2 using ECOSSE process based model. Our PhD Kilian Walz uncovered the factors affecting carbon stocks in Irish peatlands
Congratulations @Rosie10358
Great 3 min video explaining the impacts of draining peatland on carbon emissions, hydrologoy and peat structure thanks to @IUCNpeat @RichardLindsa16 @EPAResearchNews youtu.be/DUFqrN1dxjU
Widespread drying of European peatlands... could this vast carbon stock be under threat? nature.com/articles/s4156…
Very interesting PhD topic on peat mining as an unwritten chapter in the fossil fuel age with a fantastic environmental historian

#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/20…
5 Dec is #WorldSoilDay. No #soil = no food, no carbon sink, no ecosystem services, no life, no future. Wet #peatlands soil = better chance to reduce climate chaos; cleaner air; more ecosystem services, better future @EPAResearchNews @UCDEarth
Tune in tonight Tuesday 9.35pm @ RTEONE for Hot Air: Ireland’s #ClimateCrisis” where @boucherhayes and @flo_renouwilson will be discussing the potential of peatlands to lock in carbon and mitigate climate change #KeepItInTheGround #Peatlands @EPAResearchNews
Drained peat soils are a worldwide problem. German drained organic soils emit more than 55 Mt CO2-eq. per year. This is equivalent to around 6.6% of the national GHG emissions in 2014. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
