Compared to ecosystems in many other parts of the world, the blanket bogs<\/a> of the Flow Country in northern Scotland are unassuming\u2014soggy, treeless landscapes dominated by hummocky mosses, grasses, and heathers. Yet, to ecologists, the seemingly desolate areas are nothing short of extraordinary.<\/p>\nThe bogs store tremendous quantities of carbon<\/a>. That\u2019s because their soils are so waterlogged that microbes cannot fully break down dead plant material, a process that would otherwise release carbon dioxide. Instead, partially decayed plant matter accumulates into thick layers of spongy, crumbly, carbon-rich material called peat<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe unusual ecosystems, also called blanket mires and featherbed bogs, only occur in places with abundant rainfall, poor drainage, and low levels of evapotranspiration<\/a>. These types of bogs cover just 120,000 square kilometers (46,000 square miles) globally, less than one-tenth of one percent of Earth\u2019s land surface. The image above, captured by the OLI<\/a> (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8<\/a>, <\/strong>is centered on blanket bogs in the Scottish Highlands, home to the largest such ecosystem in Europe. This peatland is also the first<\/a> of its type to be inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe peat bogs of northern Scotland, home to more than 30 species of sphagnum moss<\/a>, are spread across some 1,900 square kilometers (730 square miles) of the country\u2019s Highlands<\/a> region. In this image, boggy areas appear dark brown and are sprinkled with lakes. The light green area on the right side around Thurso is farmland. The darker green geometric patterns in the center are conifer plantations<\/a>. The image was captured in the spring, the part of the year when the land surface is most waterlogged and peat bogs begin to accumulate large amounts of new biomass.<\/p>\nWhile forests store most of their carbon in living trees\u2014which eventually release it back into the atmosphere when they burn or die\u2014peat bogs often store carbon for many thousands of years. Some parts of the Flow Country have been accumulating peat for more than 9,000 years, building deposits exceeding eight meters thick, according to UNESCO. Overall, scientists estimate that all of the world\u2019s peatlands cover just 3 percent<\/a> of Earth\u2019s land surface but store more than 600 gigatons<\/a> of carbon\u2014about twice as much<\/a> as all the world\u2019s forests combined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nNASA Earth Observatory images by Michala Garrison, using Landsat data from the\u00a0<\/em>U.S. Geological Survey<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> Story by Adam Voiland.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\tDownloads\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nMarch 4, 2024<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\nJPEG (7.52 MB)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nReferences & Resources<\/h2>\n\nAitkenhead, M.J.

While forests store most of their carbon in living trees\u2014which eventually release it back into the atmosphere when they burn or die\u2014peat bogs often store carbon for many thousands of years. Some parts of the Flow Country have been accumulating peat for more than 9,000 years, building deposits exceeding eight meters thick, according to UNESCO. Overall, scientists estimate that all of the world\u2019s peatlands cover just 3 percent<\/a> of Earth\u2019s land surface but store more than 600 gigatons<\/a> of carbon\u2014about twice as much<\/a> as all the world\u2019s forests combined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nNASA Earth Observatory images by Michala Garrison, using Landsat data from the\u00a0<\/em>U.S. Geological Survey<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> Story by Adam Voiland.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\tDownloads\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nMarch 4, 2024<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\nJPEG (7.52 MB)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nReferences & Resources<\/h2>\n\nAitkenhead, M.J.
