Photo of the day - peat
From Hayden:
Here I'm holding a piece of peat that was excavated from a drainage canal. Peat is a hugely important carbon sink and also provides a very rich medium to sustain an extremely biodiverse ecosystem (i.e. a lot of trees, animals, and plants).
In this area, the peat goes to over 8 meters (24 feet) in depth. That, my friends, is a lot of carbon.
