Ok bot.

Bog witches of the world. It’s time. ♥️

Thank you. This is so impactful to me today.

If you boost anything today, please absorb and amplify this response. ♥️

Agreed. I think it’s time for us to level up with the sweeping statements. Respect.

To prepare for field research in bogs and peatlands, you'd be wise to adopt the badassitude of a female scientist.

Woman scientist - me! - standing on a boreal hilltop with fall colors.

A woman scientist here asking everyone to think about the direction of this country. Men have had a long time to prove themselves in leadership. Time to step aside.

You can fit so much sequestered carbon in this baby right here

I got out and saw some skunk cabbage today so yeah, it's bog time.

Yes, preserved and hidden in their depths.

WARNING Those who are not familiar with this environment are advised to be a careful, as they may otherwise become buried and hidden themselves.

Yes this is what I spend a lot of time trying to understand in my science. They are wonderful ecosystems. You might be interested in this. www.waterstones.com/book/bogland...

Dear friends.
We know where you can hide some unwanted bodies.

Sincerely,
Bogs all around the world.

Let’s make 2026 the year of the bog. The world’s most unique and interesting plants, clean water, cooler climate. Bogs deserve our thanks, care, and deep respect. Please join me and love a bog today.

Post-fire Recovery of Soil Organic Layer Carbon in Canadian Boreal Forests - Ecosystems Conifer forests historically have been resilient to wildfires in part due to thick organic soil layers that regulate combustion and post-fire moisture and vegetation change. However, recent shifts in ...

Yes because most of what burns is on the ground and those fuels don’t accumulate in deciduous stands. Increasing deciduous dominance leads to big reductions in soil carbon, the only pool that persists long term in boreal regions. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Folks, this deep pit in interior Alaska, swallowing the ground and mature trees, developed over a week or two as permafrost became unstable. Imagine what will happen to the North with prolonged warmth and warm rainfall.

Need some hope in a dark world? Here is a breath of fresh air and resilience from Alaska’s boreal permafrost landscape.

Happy new year from the bogland gnomes who hope you achieve your goals this year. May that include wetland protection and conservation around the world. If you care about stable food, clean water, your climate, or beautiful inspiring places, then you care about wetlands.

Another important reality is that Greenland holds major potential for future peat accumulation and carbon sequestration. Where will the bogs of tomorrow be? Not Canada. Not Siberia. But definitely Greenland.

Oh yes! Physically and mentally.
