By coincidence — or perhaps intentionally — the Finnish word Suomi contains suo, meaning bog. A landscape that has shaped Finland for thousands of years. 🌿

🌍Wetlands are more than ecosystems. For millennia, communities have lived with wetlands—fishing, farming, managing water, and passing down knowledge that kept them alive. 🫂 Protecting wetlands means protecting people, heritage, and wisdom—not just landscapes. Happy World Wetlands Day 💧

Our latest study explores the carbon budget of an abandoned peat extraction area in Estonia. Over two years of GHG flux data reveal the site is still a carbon source, but could shift to a carbon sink as vegetation recovers and water levels rise. Read more: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Carbon balance in an abandoned peat extraction area influenced by spatial heterogeneity and vegetation development

This study was conducted to determine greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes and assess the carbon cycle of the ecosystem at an abandoned peat extraction site in…

🌿 REWET partners met at the Univ. of Eastern Finland to share progress in Open Labs, restoration, and biodiversity work. 🤝 We also learned about the Priodiversity LIFE Project 💡 and explored the Ylpässuo peatlands — wet, wild, and full of autumn colours! 🍂

Europe’s land carbon sink is down 30% in the past decade, risking 2030 climate targets. But the EU can still turn things around. Forests, peatlands, and soils remain powerful carbon allies if we invest, protect, and restore.

Europe’s land carbon sink declines, but its potential stays high

Europe’s forests and land are absorbing less carbon than expected, putting the 2030 target for the sector at risk. But with the right policies and measures, the land use and forestry sector could…
