Peaty Soils Location

The Peat Layer was produced by Natural England (ARM team) during June-October 2008, with the aim of identifying the extent of three classes of peaty soils for the purposes of the Partnership Project to Protect and Enhance Peat Soils (aka. The Peat Project). The Peat Project is a joint initiative of Defra, Natural England, the Environment Agency, Forestry Commission, Welsh Assembly Government, Countryside Coucil for Wales, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Cadw and the Department for Energy and Climate Change, and aims to improve coordination between these partners in our efforts to understand, manage and restore peaty soils.泥炭层（Peat Layer）数据集由英国自然署（Natural England）的ARM团队于2008年6月至10月编制，旨在为《保护与改善泥炭土壤合作项目》（Partnership Project to Protect and Enhance Peat Soils，又名“泥炭项目”，The Peat Project）明确三类泥炭质土壤的分布范围。“泥炭项目”是由Defra、英国自然署、环境署（Environment Agency）、英国林业委员会（Forestry Commission）、威尔士议会政府（Welsh Assembly Government）、威尔士乡村委员会（Countryside Council for Wales）、北爱尔兰环境署（Northern Ireland Environment Agency）、Cadw以及英国能源与气候变化部（Department for Energy and Climate Change）联合发起的倡议，旨在加强各合作方之间的协同配合，助力推进泥炭质土壤的科学认知、规范化管理与生态修复工作。
