High N2O and CO2 emissions from bare peat dams reduce the climate mitigation potential of bog rewetting practices

The rewetting of drained peatlands is currently a common practice for re-establishing near-natural hydrological conditions and for reducing peatland greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are enhanced under peatland drainage and extraction....
