Rewetted drained peatland forest

Challenges: Low fertile peatland rewetted. The impact of hydrological regime restoration on GHGE and Sphagnum moss growth will be assessed. 

Solutions: Biota in wet soils, particularly soil microbes and rooted plants, regulate GHGE and removal. By controlling the WL, GHGE can be affected: high WL decreases CO₂ emissions but increases CH₄ and N₂O; low WL increases CO₂ emissions. 

Outcomes: Rewetting will reduce GHGE and increase biodiversity.
