It is a plant typical of neutral-basic peat bogs, with a wide distribution in the subarctic zone of Eurasia and in some mountainous areas of Southern and Central Europe. #Botany #Flora #PeatBogs #Nature #Eurasia 2/3

Really important stuff - #archaeology is far from ‘safe’ even when it remains buried… But these conversations need to happen in collaboration with nature-based approaches to #peatland restoration, at multiple scales, and across traditional borders #peatbogs

Today’s work party on our Bankhead Moss reserve in #Fife cleared birch saplings from the central dome of the raised peak bog where they had been encroaching #Fifewildlife #conservation #peatbogs

This is a lovely wee film from @clareshaw.bsky.social & Anna Chilvers. It captures the magic and profound beauty of bogs & moors really well.
Enjoy!

Peatlands emit acids that mobilize iron (Fe), which is rather immobile at neutral pHs. Thus, ironpans often occur in #Soils beneath #PeatBogs. But some Fe escapes into streams in chelated forms & flows to the oceans. If oceans are deficient in Fe, then do #Peatlands help fertilize marine ecosystems?

I realised that it must be three years since I wrote about #raisedmires and #peatbogs and gave workshops to appreciate them. I'm grumbling yet pleased that they are flavour of the moment among nature writers, but wish my work was out there too! #poetry #nature #naturerecovery

We thought these places were useless. They may help save the world. Swamps get a bad rep. But there’s a good reason why we should learn to love them.

I'm just finishing off a special 'peaty piece' and look, just look! A burst of afternoon sunshine illuminates the bog next to our croft and crowns it with a rainbow!

Hardbound book: “The Bog Walker’s Companion: A Guide to the Orono Bog Boardwalk”, edited by Jerry R. Longcore, James E. Bird, and Robert Klose. Published by the University of Maine Press, 2019. 160 pages. Dimensions: 10.5 x 7.5 x 0.75. An aerial view of the Caribou Bog and the Orono Bog Boardwalk fills the front of the dust jacket. The upper 20% of the image is pale blue sky with thin cloud on the right. The book’s title is printed across this section of the cover. Below it is a narrow treeline. The remainder of the image is the expanse of the bog, showing small trees, shrubs, smaller plants, and mosses in tones of brown and green, and a boardwalk curving from lower left toward the right then left again toward the treeline. A few people can be seen walking on the boardwalk and viewing the bog from an observation station. The editors’ names are printed across the bottom of the cover.
