Peat Bog Ecosystems: Peatland Restoration
2016
Peatland restoration involves giving aid to a
complex ecosystem which has been
damaged in some way. A reasonable analogy is a patient brought to a hospital for urgent
treatment. When
arriving at
Accident
& Emergency
,
the first priority of the medical team is
to stabilise the patient’s condition. Only
after the patient’s condition has been assessed
and then stabilised can the team begin to think about the longer
-
term process of healing
and recovery.
A similar logic is applied to
peatland
s
. First
,
stabilisation is required to
prevent further degradation,
following which restoration can focus on the recovery of the
ecosystem.
