Are you a landowner or farmer? If so, @CarePeat is carrying out a short 10-minute survey on attitudes towards future uses of Irish peat soils. You can fill it out here: forms.office.com/e/e9f9avr3vV. It's a great way to help shape future policy decisions in this area.

The rich tradition of soil survey @teagasc by ground truth gave us historical data that allowed todays scientist @teagasc use modern data and tools to connect the dots in this OA paper on grassland peat soils 👇

Results from an important Teagasc study published in the Journal of Environmental Management, on Thursday, 22 June, for the first time offers reliable evidence on the drainage status of grassland peat soils. Find out more here bit.ly/3r0lh2T

I was lucky enough to be invited onto this webinar. I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone interested in the science and the facts around rewetting in Ireland. While much is unknown as yet, too much really, there is more data than I had realised, and it's all here

Earlier this wk we hosted a webinar where peatland expert @flo_renouwilson presented what we know/what we don’t know abt raising the water table (rewetting) on agricultural peat soils. Link here. youtu.be/tCbVJet26YQ Pls share widely.

Teagasc’s analysis put the area of drained peat grasslands between 90,000ha to 120,000ha, far lower than the 335,000ha previously assumed. eu1.hubs.ly/H04dq1w0

@TuomasJMattila I use something similar. When I worked in Germany as a young technician I wet sieved everything is safeguard the fine fractions. Can lose a lot through dust.

@ajoneswilkins I think the little girl laughing says it all. Zack is the zone and so he should be at that level and the volunteers seem delighted to be helping him. The sun was shining and everybody was outside. Happy days.

Hello ultra Twitter! What do you all think of this video and tweet? Is Zach being an idiot here? Is this disrespectful to the sport? Or, is this part of the game at a World Championship event?
La Baja Kalaña@labajakalana

Hi Zach Miller. Just tell you that you are a XL size idiot. This is disrespectful to the sport, to your country (which you misrepresent), to the volunteers, to the environment, to the rest of the runners and to yourself. You deserve not to be invited to any more races.
