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.
