註釋Peatlands are a unique and fast-disappearing landscape. More and more countries are recognizing this situation and putting protective legislation into place. It is therefore important to understand all the processes and influences that are involved in sustaining the remaining examples of this fragile ecosystem.
Addressing two key questions, why should peatlands be conserved and how should this conservation be achieved, this book brings together the leading workers in the area, whose contributions have been developed from the Peatlands Convention in Edinburgh. The book summarizes the current situation regarding peatlands and bogs and sets the agenda for their future survival. This work is important reading for all environmental scientists and practitioners working with peatlands and bogs. The book is also relevant to all government policy makers and voluntary bodies involved in sustaining biodiversity.
