This week, we were excited to present our research to social scientists in #Estonia, led by Roosa Rytkönen at Tallinn University. It was a great opportunity to share knowledge amidst intense expert and public disputes on the large-scale #rewetting of Estonia's forested #peatlands. @leverhulme.ac.uk

Promotional graphic titled “Wetlands in action – Session 3.” The poster announces an online webinar, “Data-Driven Wetland Monitoring: GHG Hotspot and Rewetting Impact Assessment,” scheduled for January 13th, 2026, from 11:00 to 12:00 CET. The speakers listed are Alexandra Barthelmens, Werner Wiedemann, and Jonas Franke. The design features a light blue background with stylized wetland illustrations, logos of partner organizations along the bottom, and a note indicating funding by the European Union.

One of the criteria for the project’s success should be a change in the levels of #groundwater within the former drainage systems. As a result of the areas' #rewetting, it is expected that levels will grow, and the seasonal amplitude of their fluctuations will decrease.

What a huge scale! Last week we walked >16 km across a drained peat grassland to select study plots at our #wetscapes2.0 landscape-level experiment on peatland #rewetting. Soon sneakers won't be a suitable any more, and frogs don't have to rely on drainage ditches to thrive!
Where there is water, there is Sphagnum. #Rewetting is essential to make our peatlands greener and more resistant to droughts #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
We've long supported active #restoration of #peatlands post-extraction, using enhanced #rewetting and #moss transfer
The Can-Peat project, synthesizing historical and recent data on C exchanges from restored areas in Canada, backs this approach!

Post-restoration, vascular plants thrived more than bryophytes. Low helophyte presence and no flooding were key for effective #rewetting 🌱

Just brushes over that the German conservation group is getting funded by nameless companies, what are the bets it's actually fossil fuel emitters?
In this remarkable event, we shared experience from Europe & Africa. Having drained almost all its #peatlands, Germany now started large-scale #rewetting #paludiculture projects on ~5000 ha. Pilot products are there @bmuv.de @bmel.de In Uganda, sanitary pads from papyrus paludiculture improve lives.

Climate adaptation measures, such as rewetting wetlands or increasing tree cover, can cool the landscape regionally by several degrees Celsius. © Claas Nendel / ZALF
😎 💦🌳 How can we cool down landscapes? A new study simulates and quantifies various climate adaptation measures such as #afforestation, #agroforestry and #rewetting for the Elbe-Elster district as a model region. www.zalf.de/en/aktue...
