Description:
This report was produced for An Fóram Uisce to provide guidance on how peatland management can be reimagined in order to optimise water quality improvements, while delivering co-benefits for climate change and biodiversity. This study was split into five key work packages: 1) Rewetting degraded peatlands; 2) carbon cycling in intact, degraded and rewetted peatlands; 3) Cultural ecosystem services and social values of peatlands; 4) Alternative management options for degraded peatlands; and 5) strategic guidance and resources for integrated peatland management.
