Satellite data archives reveal positive effects of peatland restoration: albedo and temperature begin to resemble those of intact peatlands

Satellite data archives reveal positive effects of peatland restoration: albedo and temperature begin to resemble those of intact peatlands

Peatlands store significant amounts of carbon, which is released as greenhouse gases when peatlands are degraded. Restoration and rewetting can help prevent these emissions, while continuous monitoring is critical for evaluating their success. Using satellite-derived observations of essential climat...
