We shouldn't say peatlands act as sponges...but they can slow flow and dampen droughts. Our new paper led by Kirsten Lees onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

So great to see this research finally published. Huge congrats to @abbeymarcotte.bsky.social for taking all of the different groups' data and bringing it together into a coherent narrative - no small task and you've produced an excellent paper!
Excited to share our new paper in Environmental Research: Water!

We studied how wildfires and drought mobilise legacy metal contaminants from peatlands, focusing on the 2018 Stalybridge Moor fire in the UK.
