A new study led by Teagasc has highlighted the critical relationship between the drainage status of peat soils and localized rainfall in water table management. These findings will be critical in ...
Climate change is leaving its mark on the bog complexes of the German Black Forest. Due to rising temperatures and longer dry periods, two plant species have already gone extinct over the last 40 ...
Irish raised bogs have the capacity to store 13 times the amount of carbon as the same area of Amazon rainforest, according to researchers on the FarmPEAT Project. Bernie Duffy told the Teagasc Carbon ...
The new method by the SMART-NTU team uses satellite data and reduces the need for on-site sampling to derive the three-dimensional shapes of raised peatlands, also known as bogs, and hence the amount ...
Low-lying fens and raised bogs are isolated bodies of stagnant water that are nutrient-poor. Fens are fed by local groundwater, while raised bogs are fed by rainwater. Both types of areas arise ...
As wind turbines on the horizon churn out clean energy, John Smyth bends to stack damp peat – the cheap, smoky fuel he has harvested for half a century. The painstaking work of “footing turf,” as the ...
