Question:

Consequences of draining peatlands?

Author: Asger LIndberg-Nielsen



Answer:

Draining peat is really bad! You might as well just burn coal. Growing potatoes on drained peat is just as bad as burning coal. Restoring peatlands is a number one human activity is a number one human activity that can stop climate change. Esturine wetlands are mostly neutral. They don't really make methane. In short time spands marshes and swamps produce enough methane to be net sources of greenhouse gasses. We cant really use climate change as an argument to resstore minerotrophic wetlands.
