IMG_8385_drainage.jpg Drainage ditch in peat bog on Eaglesham Moor, Scotland, UK. Draining peat bog is disastrous for the environment. It negatively impacts on valuable habitat, reduces water quality in rivers, results in faster runoff and great flooding downstream.

IMG_4507_gripped.jpg Boggy Moorland above Wet Sleddale that has had drainage ditches dug into the peat, known as gripping, to try and make the ground more suitable for sheep grazing. This is disastrous environmentally, causing a triple whammy of destruction. for a marginal gain in sheep farming, it degrades the moorland bog as a habitat for specialist plants and animals, it reduces the peat bogs ability to lock away and store carbon, and it greatly increases the flood risk downstream, as rain water drains straight off the land, rather than being taken up and released slowly by the peat and sphagnum moss.

IMG_7787_sphagnum.jpg An unusually dry spring led to tinder dry conditions on moorland near Littleborough UK. A discarded cigarette set fire to the moor on the 25th of May. The flames were fanned by strong winds and destroyed over 300 acres of moorland. This upland habitat is home to many uncommon ground nesting birds including Curlew golden Plover and Twite. Many nests were destroyed. Global warming has caused many areas of the world to become drier and more likely to burn.

IMG_7266_climate change_peat bog.jpg A peat bog on Fairfield in the Lake District National Park. Peat bogs hold huge reserves of carbon dioxide and the methane an even more efficient greenhouse gas. Recent evidence suggests that as the planet warms the equilibrium of many peat bogs is changeing from carbon sinks to carbon emmitters. A worrying example of a feedback loop that could help to rapidly accelerate the affects of climate change.
