Discussion meeting organised by Professor Simon Lewis FRS, Professor Ifo Suspense Averti, Professor Corneille Ewango, Professor Sue Page and Professor Angela Gallego-Sala.
Tropical peatlands were thought to be rare in Africa. The 2017 mapping of Earth’s largest tropical peatland complex in the central Congo basin changed that view. This Discussion Meeting is the first ever conference on African peatlands, presenting new findings on the ecology, biodiversity, greenhouse gas fluxes, current management, and potential futures of these vulnerable ecosystems.
