This three day event, 15-17 May, is aimed at European managers and researchers.
The peatlands of the (central) European mountains have a number of features in common from a hydrological, biological and, more broadly, functional point of view. Although they appeared later than on the plains, human practices have also had an impact on the functioning of these peatlands. The consequences of these disturbances, far from diminishing over time, are set to increase with climate change.
In many mountain areas, there are a growing number of initiatives aimed at rehabilitating peatlands and trying to preserve their future. Thanks to this international seminar, the partners of the LIFE Climat Jura peatlands programme want to bring together researchers and managers of Central European «mountain peatlands» to answer a number of questions:
• What are the most appropriate scales and strategies for intervention?
• What rehabilitation techniques should be used, and what effects will they have?
• How can the problems be diagnosed and the results quantified?
• And more broadly, what is the future for these mountain peatlands in the context of climate change?
