@midide interessant, was #Landwirte mit #Paludikultur auf wiedervernässten #Mooren so alles anstellen

Had a nice walk through some peat bogs today. Little chilly early morning start but it warmed up quickly towards the afternoon.

Alaska’s unique composition makes it an incredible carbon sink, storing easily over 30 billion metric tons of CO2 If released, through the melting of the permafrost or draining of the #peat bogs through mining and oil drilling operations, we wouldn’t live to tell the tale

"One of the most unexpected findings is that the peatlands began forming during periods of the past when we think that the regional #climate was a lot drier than it is today... factors other than climate must have made the #soils wet enough for #peat to form... Compared to many tropical regions, the Congolese peatlands have largely escaped threats such as #deforestation and drainage"
"There is more carbon stored in peatlands than in all the above-ground vegetation in the world. They account for 3% of landmass, but hold at least 30% of soil carbon. Seventy per cent of the UK’s drinking water starts its journey on peatlands, where the bogs not only filter but also slow water, helping to mitigate flooding. This is why draining, extracting and turning peat into agricultural land has consequences"
67,000 homes in Ireland still use peat for heating. However, Bord Na Mona stopped extracting peat last year and closed its last peat power station. Now restoring peatlands which in a dried out, denatured state are carbon emitters. Big wind farms now on former extraction sites too. A great deal of historical damage has been done.

During restoration work on a fen an ancient oak was found. Preserved by the wet, aneorbic conditions the bog oak was in super condition. The tree grew nearly 5000 years ago, making it older than Stonehenge. The peat is being restored to help carbon capture.

"On 11 September 1883, Van Gogh boarded the train from The Hague to Drenthe. He spent three months in Hoogeveen and Nieuw-Amsterdam/Veenoord and made a day trip to the artists' village of Zweeloo. In Drenthe, Van Gogh found a vast and dark, but wonderful landscape that stayed with him."
