Expect a thorough insight into the latest science, the best available techniques to make peatland restoration a success and the most pressing policies to move towards a climate- and nature-robust Europe (through peatland restoration).
Besides the focus on science, management and policy, we will build our programme based on 4 major themes:
Carbon and water
Biodiversity conservation
Restoration
Land use and policy
Carbon and water
GHG emissions - water chemistry - ecosystem services - water retention - effect of climate change
Biodiversity
Base-line data - management - multi-priority approach
Restoration
Restoration in practice: techniques - constraints restoration - monitoring and evaluation restoration success - novel ecosystems
Land use and policy
Nature Restoration Law - LULUCF - paludiculture - wet agriculture - forestry on peatlands - socio-economic aspects
The realisation of the programme, together with the review of abstracts, has been realised by a team of peatland experts working together in three conference committees:
Science committee
