Researchers have published a new model revealing how far water travels when drained peatlands are rewetted, with the findings appearing in the journal Hydrogeology. The work matters for restoration projects, since rewetting degraded peatlands is a key strategy for cutting carbon emissions and reviving wetland ecosystems. Scientists and climate commentators are sharing the study, which offers a practical tool for predicting hydrological recovery in restored peat landscapes.
