What is a moor?
A moor is an ecosystem characterized by sphagnum mosses, sedges, and dwarf shrubs growing on wet ground.
Peat formation occurs due to the lack of oxygen in the water, which prevents decomposition processes.
Important Moor Types
Raised Bog (Peat Fen): Nutrient-poor, acidic, fed only by rainwater.
Fen: Nutrient-rich, fed by groundwater.
Moors and Climate Protection
Moors are gigantic carbon sinks.
Drained peatlands release stored carbon.
Therefore, rewetting (moorland conservation) is essential for climate protection.
