The sphagnum moss is loving this wet weather 💦💚 Small pools of water have been trapped behind coir logs, creating the perfect conditions for aquatic species. Hummock-forming species, such as sphagnum papillosum, are poking through the coir netting, which provides shelter from extremes of weather ☀️🌧❄️

🌿Damaged peatlands contribute an estimated 10% of global greenhouse gases.

💧Lowland peatlands like the Ballaugh Curraghs can form when a shallow lake fills in with partially decomposed vegetation over thousands of years.
