Satellite data archives reveal positive effects of peatland restoration: albedo and temperature begin to resemble those of intact peatlands - IOPscience
Satellite data archives reveal positive effects of peatland restoration: albedo and temperature begin to resemble those of intact peatlands, Burdun, Iuliia, Myllymäki, Mari, Artz, Rebekka R.E., Guêné-Nanchen, Mélina, Jarašius, Leonas, Kull, Ain, Lilleskov, Erik A., McCullough, Kevin, Pakalne, Mara, Pu, Jiabin, Sendzikaite, Jurate, Strazdina, Liga, Rautiainen, Miina

New paper out! Using over 20 years of #satellite data, we show that restored #peatlands start to resemble intact peatlands. Their #albedo and land surface #temperature (LST) gradually align with those of natural peatlands.

Earth system feedbacks are very complex - there are positive but also negative feedbacks; tipping points that are subject not just to thresholds but the rate of change. Our new paper reveals some of that complexity with respect to the composition of peat vegetation:
