- Description
- It’s two years since four flux towers were set up in the Falklands as part of a project to monitor carbon cycling in peat.
Globally, peatland degradation accounts for 4 to 5% of all greenhouse gas emissions, and the Falklands contains around 10% of all peat under UK jurisdiction.
With the ongoing Peatlands Greenhouse Gas project only funded until June or July, the scientists in charge are keen to stress why it is so important.
