Forest peatland ecosystem assessment and targeted management for enhanced carbon sequestration, biodiversity and water quality

ForPeat is a Horizon Europe funded project dedicated to restoring and sustainably managing forested peatlands. Together with 22 partners from 15 countries, we will collect information on carbon gas emissions, water quality, biodiversity, ecosystem services, and the effects of peatland forest management in Open Labs across Europe. Sustainable practices will be tested under real conditions, with a strong focus on rewetting and biodiversity conservation. By combining AI-powered remote sensing with ground-based measurements, ForPeat will implement monitoring systems, modelling tools, and nature-based solutions that align with climate adaptation strategies, reducing carbon emissions and contributing to the long-term resilience of peatland ecosystems.
