Costs of Peatland Restoration in Scotland: Data underpinning MACC analysis

A dataset containing anonymised records outlining the costs of a selection of peatland restoration projects in Scotland that have been granted funding by NatureScot since 2016, merged with a set of environmental/geographic variables. These data in turn are used for underpinning the marginal abatement curve (MACC) analysis as a basis of a spatial cost prediction model for potential restoration of degraded peatland in Scotland. The observations in the database represent individual restored sites and the total costs are on a per hectare basis. The variables capture location, spatial dimensions, meteorological conditions, peat conditions, land cover, use and designation specific for each site. The information has been sourced from various publicly accessible domains, namely the Met Office, James Hutton Institute, Centre from Ecology and Hydrology, Ordnance Survey, NatureScot and Centre for Environmental Data Analysis.本数据集包含匿名化记录，梳理了2016年以来获得苏格兰自然署（NatureScot）资助的苏格兰境内部分泥炭地修复项目的成本，并与一组环境与地理变量进行了合并。这些数据被用于支撑边际减排曲线（Marginal Abatement Curve，MACC）分析，以此作为苏格兰退化泥炭地潜在修复项目空间成本预测模型的核心依据。 数据库中的观测条目代表单个修复场地，总成本以每公顷为单位核算。相关变量涵盖各场地专属的位置信息、空间尺度、气象条件、泥炭地状况、土地覆盖类型、利用方式以及法定划定类别等内容。 本数据集的信息源自多个公开可获取的渠道，具体包括英国气象局（Met Office）、詹姆斯·赫顿研究所（James Hutton Institute）、生态与水文中心（Centre for Ecology and Hydrology）、英国地形测量局（Ordnance Survey）、苏格兰自然署（NatureScot）以及环境数据分析中心（Centre for Environmental Data Analysis）。
