Large areas of peat overlay old lava
flows up to 1km thick. Scottish peat is a
massive carbon store, holding up to 90%
of all carbon stored in soils, plants and
forests in the UK. A hectare of active peat
bog also stores 250kg of carbon every
year. Conservation and enhancement of
peatlands is a major action to combat
climate change.
