Nutberry Moss near Gretna in Scotland. A lowland blanket peat bog which is being destroyed to provide peat for the horticultural industry. Peat Bogs are carbon sinks locking up C02 from plants that decay in an anaerobic environment. Research shows that as the climate warms the carbon balance of many peat bogs are changing from net sinks to net exporters of carbon.
