| There was little interest in peatland geology during this early period outside of the Geological Survey of Canada. |
|
| An old stone cottage forms an important landmark on this vast peatland nature reserve. |
|
| Preliminary calculations suggest peatland could become carbon generators if global temperatures continue to rise, drying out the peatlands. |
|
| An even bigger threat from the proposed wind farm is potential damage to the peatland breeding habitat of wading birds like greenshank, dunlin, and golden plover. |
|
| If one is interested primarily in the succession and development of peatland plant communities, macrofossil analysis will provide the most detailed information about the plants. |
|
| Friends of the Earth has suggested that this could be halved in size to avoid damaging a peatland protected by European law because of its wildlife. |
|
| The Netherlands, for example, once had large areas of peatland, both fen and bog. |
|
| Golden eagle taiga habitat usually consists of extensive peatland formations caused by poorly drained soils. |
|
| For example, whooping cranes nest in North American peatlands, while Siberian cranes nest in the West Siberian peatland. |
|
| Even the enormous Yangtze River arises in the Ruoergai peatland near its headwaters in Tibet. |
|
| For example, many popular canoe routes in northern Canada include areas of peatland. |
|
| Deforestation, peatland degradation, and forest fires not only threaten the global climate but also nature and human life. |
|
| Oil from shallow peatland region more complex than others which show some effects of peatlands character to chemical content of oil. |
|
| The scheme saw work carried out to restore 485 hectares of peatland across several areas of North Wales. |
|
| Pupils from Pentrefoelas and Ysbyty Ifan schools performed the five-and-a-half minute YouTube video to highlight the importance of peatland restoration. |
|
| By maintaining gelam trees still standing and allow pruning their leaves at regular period, the peatland area cultivated with gelam could be conserved. |
|
| These peat accumulations then provide habitat for a wide array of peatland plants, including sedges and ericaceous shrubs, as well as orchids and carnivorous plants. |
|
| The peatland ecosystem is the most efficient carbon sink on the planet, because peatland plants capture CO2 naturally released from the peat, maintaining an equilibrium. |
|
| Different species of Sphagnum have different tolerance limits for flooding and pH, so any one peatland may have a number of different Sphagnum species. |
|
| The Heritage Park is situated approximately a mile from Peatland World and is a community-run fee-paying visitor attraction. |
|
|
|
| Peatland streams potentially represent important conduits for the exchange of gaseous carbon between the terrestrial ecosystem and the atmosphere. |
|
| The new Government-backed Peatland Code aims to slash the UK's carbon dioxide emissions by 220 million tonnes and protect rare wildlife by restoring moors, bogs and mires. |
|
| Peatland features can include ponds, ridges, and raised bogs. |
