366W2891.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

366W2898.jpg Ancient pine wood in an upland blanket peat bog at Moor House Upper Teesdale North Pennines Cumbria UK. Evidence of climate change in the past . This wood is preserved in the peat and grew between 5000 and 7000 years ago when the climate was warmer than it is today and more suited to tree growth at higher altitudes.

366W2906.jpg Sphagnum moss growing in an upland balnket peat bog at Moor House, Upper Teesdale Cumbria UK. Sphagnum is one of the key plant species for the development of peat, a carbon sink in bogs that is starting to be affected by global warming.

366W2812.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.

366W2931.jpg Dr Jeff Warburton of Durham University downloads data from 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.
