Peatlands factsheet

Peatlands factsheet Q. What are Peatlands ? A. Peatlands are carbon-rich wetlands which occupy 3% of the global land surface and 12% of UK land area. The waterlogged conditions prevent plant material from fully decomposing and peat soil is formed by the partially decayed material, which builds up slowly. Natural vegetation in Northern Hemisphere Peatlands is mainly mosses, sedges and shrubs, while in the tropics they are naturally forested. In the UK, there are 3 types of peatland: o Blanket bog large areas of peat found largely in uplands fed primarily by rainfall o Raised bog localised domes of peat in lowland areas fed primarily by rainfall o Fens (pictured) fed by mineral-rich groundwater and river water, as well as rainfall Q: Why are Peatlands important? A: Peatlands are among the most carbon-rich ecosystems on Earth. In a natural condition, Peatlands have a net cooling effect on climate, reduce flood risk, and support biodiversity.

Most of the UK’s peat is in Scotland, and the Scottish Government has been funding peatland restoration schemes for several years as part of its National Peatland Plan. This includes Scottish Natural Heritage’s Peatland Action initiative which has restored 19,000 hectares since 2012. In 2019, the Scottish Government
