Integrating peatland into national policy
CIFOR-ICRAF Senior Scientist Kristell Hergoualc'h addresses the importance of incorporating peatland into national policy in the fight against climate change.
Peatlands are terrestrial wetland ecosystems in which waterlogged conditions prevent plant material from fully decomposing. Consequently, the production of organic matter exceeds its decomposition, which results in a net accumulation of peat. In cool climates, peatland vegetation is mostly made up of Sphagnum mosses, sedges and shrubs and are the primary builder of peat, whereas in warmer climates graminoids and woody vegetation provide most of the organic matter.
