Peatlands cover a large area in Europe and contain a significant amount of organic carbon. Artificial drainage has led to CO2 emissions and ecological problems, but rewetting the land can potentially solve these issues and provide benefits like carbon sequestration, improved water quality, and preservation of biodiversity.
Peatlands are lands with a peat layer at the surface, containing a large proportion of organic carbon. Such lands cover approximate to 1 000 000 km(2)in Europe, which is almost 10% of the total surface area. In many countries, peatlands have been artificially drained over centuries, leading to not only enormous emissions of CO(2)but also soil subsidence, mobilization of nutrients, higher flood risks, and loss of biodiversity. These problems can largely be solved by stopping drainage and rewetting the land. Wet peatlands do not release CO2, can potentially sequester carbon, help to improve water quality, provide habitat for rare and threatened biodiversity, and can still be used for production of biomass (paludiculture). Wisely adjusted land use on peatlands can substantially contribute to low-emission goals and further benefits for farmers, the economy, society, and the environment.
