366W2826_p.jpg Moor House National Nature Reserve in the North Pennines has been a site of scientific research going back 50 years. Weather records show a gradual warming over the last 50 years and a dramatic decline in winter snow cover. This has started to alter some of the specialised arctic plant communities and has also affected the carbon budget of the upland blanket peat bog. Peat bogs should be carbon sinks but due to rising temperatures the carbon budget of the bogs is changeing to a carbon deficit. The picture shows the specialist equipment used to measure carbon release from the peat bog.

IMG_8518_peat bog.jpg.jpg Nutberry Moss near Gretna in Scotland. A lowland blanket peat bog which is being destroyed to provide peat for the horticultural industry. Peat Bogs are carbon sinks locking up C02 from plants that decay in an anaerobic environment. Research shows that as the climate warms the carbon balance of many peat bogs are changing from net sinks to net exporters of carbon.

366W2871.jpg A research project by Dr Jeff Warburton of Durham University measuring wind erosion on the upland blanket peat bog at Moor House Upper Teesdale. As global warming leads to an increase in stormy weather and associated high winds it is expected that wind erosion of the peat bog will increase

366W2894.jpg Moor House National Nature Reserve in the North Pennines has been a site of scientific research going back 50 years. Weather records show a gradual warming over the last 50 years and a dramatic decline in winter snow cover. This has started to alter some of the specialised arctic plant communities and has also affected the carbon budget of the upland blanket peat bog. Warming temperatures have resulted in increased plant productivity and has lead to colonisation of once bare areas of the peat bog. This picture shows research by Dr Jeff Warburton who is measuring wind erosion on the peat bog. When the markers were first placed they were in bare peat but have subsequently been covered by recolonising cotton grass

366W2918.jpg Dr Jeff Warburton of Durham University removed a bed load logger from a river in Moor House National Nature Reserve in Upper Teesdale Cumbria UK. This experiment measures the movement of bed load materials over time. Most movement and erosion occurs during peak flows following wet weather. An increase in stormy weather due to global warming will lead to more frequent erosion events.
