🌎 Peatlands, carbon-rich freshwater wetlands, are some of nature’s mightiest carbon stores Despite covering just 3-4% of the Earth’s land surface, they contain as much carbon as all of the world’s forests and store up to one-third of the world’s soil carbon. Peatlands store carbon more effectively, for longer periods and have the highest carbon density of any terrestrial ecosystem. Total peatland carbon stores are estimated at 450-650 billion tonnes, equivalent to 31-45 times total global green

Peatlands store 30% of land-based carbon — 2X the amount of all the world’s forests. We must restore wetlands to overcome the climate-biodiversity crisis and deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals. https://dogwoodalliance.org/actions/congress-must-pass-wetland-protections/?sourceid=1110229&ms=Facebook #ActforWetlands | Dogwood Alliance

Peatlands store nearly one-third of all carbon sequestered into soil. When they are dried or drained, the stored carbon is released in the atmosphere. Peatlands store twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests. They are like the unsung heroes of carbon storage, yet we haven’t been good to them. In Europe, we have drained almost half our peatlands. The very same factors that make peatlands a concern, also make them one of our greatest untapped opportunities. You still have time to learn more

The Potential of Pocosin Peatlands’ Carbon Storage
Apr 12, 2023

The Pocosin peatlands of North Carolina’s coast can store a huge amount of carbon in their spongey, highly organic soils. But when peatlands are ditched and drained, that carbon storage potential is lost and they’re vulnerable to fire. Learn how returning water to these ecosystems could have a huge impact on the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. You can watch the full special, State of Change: Natural Solutions below or stream on the PBS app. https://video.pbsnc.org/video/state-of-chan
