Up close, what looks like a relatively normal exposed and barren hill is in fact an outdoor laboratory for experiments on peatland. We take a look at what's being done here, from pins to measure peat erosion to the flux tower that measures carbon and methane flux from this important ecosystem. Introduction and inte...
