Peat Hub Ireland Factsheets
The Peat Hub Ireland project has launched a comprehensive set of factsheets which provide an overview of research collated by the project on the sustainable management of Ireland’s peatlands. The evidence base draws on a review of Irish peatland research focusing on literature from 2000 to 2023.
The series of ten factsheets offers up-to-date information on the following themes relating to sustainable peatland management:
- 1 Biodiversity Factsheet
- 2 Soil Factsheet
- 3 Climate Factsheet
- 4 Water Factsheet
- 5 Archaeology Factsheet
- 6 Technology Factsheet
- 7 Society Culture Factsheet
- 8 Management Forestry Factsheet

In the factsheets, ID numbers are provided in brackets referencing individual publications in the (opens in a new window)Peat Hub Ireland database to enable readers to consult the original source of evidence.
