For peat’s sake: nationally important carbon store under threat

Natural England has launched a comprehensive review of the condition of England’s peatlands and the vital role they play in
combating climate change.
'England’s Peatlands – Carbon Storage and Greenhouse Gases', provides detailed mapping information on the extent and
condition of England’s peatlands. Alarmingly, the report has found that almost three quarters of the deep peat area in England
is now damaged, showing physical signs of degradation or subject to inappropriate management such as drainage, regular
burning or cultivation. In essence, the mechanism that would allow England’s peatlands to actively store up new reserves of
carbon has been turned off.
The high level of damage means that the reservoir of 580 million tonnes of carbon stored within the peat is now slowly leaking
back into the atmosphere. The report estimates that, as a result, our damaged peatlands are releasing almost 3 million tonnes
of CO2 each year - equivalent to the average emissions of over 350,000 households.
The ways in which peat has been damaged vary widely. Around 40% of deep lowland fen peat is now under cultivation and a
further 22% is drained for intensive livestock grazing. Some 30% of our upland blanket peat is under rotationally burnt
moorland. Over a fifth of blanket peat has been dried out by shallow moorland drains called “grips”. 14% are marked by
“haggs” and gullies – the erosion features that form as peat becomes exposed and is washed away.
The report makes it clear that the widespread restoration of our degraded peatlands by re-wetting dried out bogs and
minimising damaging practices could substantially reduce these carbon losses and cost-effectively deliver an important
contribution to meeting the UK’s carbon targets.
Following the recent launch by Defra of their Act on CO2 peat campaign targeting amateur gardeners who use the majority of
the peat (around 70%) that is used in horticulture, Environment Secretary Hilary Benn MP said: “Natural England’s report is a
timely reminder of what’s at stake if we fail to look after our peatlands. Peat soils are extremely valuable carbon stores as well
as being home to wildlife and important to archaeology, and we should be doing everything we can to protect them.”
