| Title: | Peatland Properties Influencing Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removal | Authors: | Renou-Wilson, Florence; Byrne, Kenneth A.; Flynn, Raymond; Premrov, Alina; Riondato, Emily; Saunders, Matthew; Walz, Kilian; Wilson, David | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/13011 | Date: | Jan-2022 | Online since: | 2022-07-21T14:06:37Z | Abstract: | A nationwide peatland survey was conducted across 50 ombrotrophic peatlands (bogs) in Ireland to ascertain a wide range of peat properties. In addition to natural (relatively intact) sites, we surveyed the most prevalent peatland land use categories (LUCs): grassland, forestry and peat extraction (both industrial and domestic), as well as management options (deep drained; shallow drained; rewetting). Furthermore, the entirety of the peat profile (down to the sub-peat mineral soil/bedrock) was sampled. Our results demonstrate that Irish bogs have been drastically altered by human activities and that the sampled peat properties reflect the nature and magnitude of the impact of the land use and management. | Funding Details: | Environmental Protection Agency | Type of material: | Government Publication | Publisher: | Environmental Protection Agency | Copyright (published version): | 2022 Environmental Protection Agency | Keywords: | Peatlands; Greenhouse gas fluxes; Biogeochemical processes; Anthropogenic climate change; Policy formation; Ireland | Related Dataset: | https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6901317 | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed | ISBN: | 978-1-80009-026-2 | This item is made available under a Creative Commons License: | https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/ |
