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
There’s no bog standard in peatland restoration New EPA Research report available now: bit.ly/33vcnir Watch the project highlights: bit.ly/3fAsail

Good to see big French garden supplier @castorama_fr getting behind the no-peat compost! @Homebase_uk @B&Q_ @WoodiesIreland @PeatlandConserv @TheFayEdwards
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
Great new paper! Have a read and share #peat #peatlandsmatter #peatTwitter
Natural regeneration of tropical #peatlands is possible! #Birds and #mammals disperse thousands of #seeds! What do we do? - Identify and protect remaining forest patches, block canals in these patches, let nature do its thing! bit.ly/2w0Gm0B
Congratulations @Rosie10358
A step closer to managing grassland to reduce GHG emissions: our paper is one of the first studies demonstrating manipulation of C:N:P ratio can reduce N2O emissions from grasslands. Well done Rosie O'Neill for a first PhD paper @UCDSBES @TeagascEnviron sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
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

Very interesting PhD topic on peat mining as an unwritten chapter in the fossil fuel age with a fantastic environmental historian
Considering a PhD in EnvHist? Trinity Centre for Environmental Humanities seeks applicants for fully-funded 4-year award to start a PhD related to the project: ‘Peat mining as an unwritten chapter in the fossil fuel age’ led by Dr Katja Bruisch. Info: histories-humanities.tcd.ie/assets/pdf/res…
#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…
