Carbon Catchment: Nant Y Brwyn Upland Blanket bog which forms part of the Migneint Nant Y Brwyn is approx 1.68km 2 Mean annual rainfall is approximately 2200 mm yr –1 Mean annual temperature is 5.6°C Main vegetation consists of Calluna, Juncus, Sphagnum, Eriophorum Light grazing between May and October

Results Summary Infilled ditches contribute a significant percentage to landscape scale methane budget despite occupying a tiny percentage of the landscape Compensating increase in CO 2 sequestration not yet quantified Vegetation in ditch is critically important for CH 4 flux Is this a transient or a long-term effect?

Defra project to assess the impacts of peat restoration on the GHG balance Five year field experiment to evaluate the effects of peat restoration on methane emissions and the overall C and GHG balance (with Leeds and Open Universities, National Trust) Replicated study of 12 ditches, with 2 ditch-blocking treatments, pre- and post treatment measurements (CH 4, CO 2, DOC, discharge, etc)

Many thanks I am expecting to finish my PhD 2011/2012.
