Data set characterizing reforestation of drained peatlands
Abstract: The presentation concerns the problem of protecting such vulnerable carbon stocks as peat deposits at the drained peatlands. Due to reduced demands for peat since the middle of 1990s, a large part of peatlands drained in Vologda region (Russian North-West) between 1980 and 1990 were not us...

| Summary: | Abstract: The presentation concerns the problem of protecting such vulnerable carbon stocks as peat deposits at the drained peatlands. Due to reduced demands for peat since the middle of 1990s, a large part of peatlands drained in Vologda region (Russian North-West) between 1980 and 1990 were not used for peat mining. The risk of fire is high at such ecosystems, and so it was decided to grow forest on these lands. This paper presents the data set summarizing the results of survey that was undertaken to study reforestation of drained peatlands. |
