Tips

When peatlands are rewetted, this is done primarily to protect the climate and nature. In drained peatlands, the peat decomposes, releasing large amounts of CO₂. Raising the water level stops this process, and the peatland once again stores carbon. This is also important for the water cycle: Rewetted areas absorb rainwater, store moisture, and thus have a stabilizing effect on the regional climate and biodiversity.

Here one finds a typical arrangement of a re-linked area with a ring dike, water areas and the beginning of raised bogs
