Hydrology Paper of the Day @graemetswindles.bsky.social on hydroclimatic drivers in peatlands: the importance of water table depth; peat core ages and trends; warmer summer temperatures, productivity, and decomposition; rewetting scenarios; limitations; and understanding in the context of management
Warmer summers and a ~10 cm water table boost peat growth in European peatlands, per our new PLOS ONE study using 2,000 yrs of data from 28 sites. A blueprint for restoring peatlands to maximise carbon capture and mitigate climate change. Read: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
Climate and water-table levels regulate peat accumulation rates across Europe
Background Peatlands are globally-important carbon sinks at risk of degradation from climate change and direct human impacts, including drainage and burning. Peat accumulates when there is a positive ...

A study has recommended that kick-off times at the 2026 men’s World Cup should be scheduled outside of afternoon hours to protect players and supporters from “potentially dangerous levels of heat.”

2026 World Cup matches could be subject to ‘dangerous heat’, study says
Heat was an issue at the 2024 Copa America in the U.S., with Uruguay's Ronald Araujo reported feeling 'dizzy' during a game.
