Reduction of CO2 emissions by restoring degraded peatlands in Northern European Lowland (LIFE Peat Restore)
Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,
Background
Some 25-30% of carbon stored in ecosystems is found in peatlands, twice as much carbon as is stored in forests. Peatland degradation, however, leads to the decomposition and mineralisation of peat and consequently to the release of the stored carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). According to Wetlands International, there are at least 500 ...
