TL;DR: In this article, the authors review peatland restoration in Western Europe and evaluate the status of the evidence base for restoration outcomes, finding that published evidence of restoration progress was limited to specific sites/areas, and in many cases lacked baseline measurements and clear goals.

TL;DR: The results indicate that rewetted sites may be more sensitive to interannual changes in weather conditions than their more resilient intact counterparts and may switch from an annual CO2 sink to a source if triggered by slightly drier conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented multi-year greenhouse gas and vegetation dynamics data from two former raised bogs in Ireland that were drained and either industrially extracted (milled) or cut on the margins for domestic use and subsequently rewetted (with no further management).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) dynamics over a three-year period in a rewetted industrial peatland in Ireland.

TL;DR: In the absence of a national ecosystem map, CORINE landcover mapping formed the basic data for extent and type of ecosystems, distinguishing woodlands and forest, peatland and heathland, grasslands and cropland and urban areas, with limited coverage of linear freshwater rivers, hedgerows and coastal ecosystems as mentioned in this paper.
