Eyes on the Bog: Long-term monitoring network for UK peatlands

Eyes on the Bog provides a scientifically robust, repeatable, low tech, long-term monitoring initiative. The standardised methodology enables individual peatland sites to be consistently monitored across the UK, creating a network of comparable sites. The initiative employs cheap, simple techniques and modern technology to enable useful monitoring information to be collected by peatland community employees or volunteers on: Peat subsidence and carbon loss Carbon capture Water table behaviour Peat soil condition Vegetation status, structure and composition Historical context of change and current trajectories
