As climate extremes intensify, temperate peatlands, which are key sources of drinking water, face growing threats. Our work highlights the need for long-term monitoring + targeted strategies to manage legacy pollution post-fire. 🔥💧

We found that our study site was generally resistant to immediate (acute) metal pollution after wildfire. But, months later, heavy rain can wash legacy metals trapped in the catchment into reservoirs, raising long-term (chronic) water quality risks.

Wish I was there! Do you ship those cool stickers to NL?👀😄

Nobody can do those quite like I can 😜

I will be there in spirit 🥹
