peatland
의미: A type of wetland ecosystem where waterlogged conditions prevent dead plant material from fully decomposing, causing it to accumulate as peat over thousands of years.
Peatlands cover roughly 12 per cent of the UK's land area, predominantly in Scotland, northern England, and Wales. They are the UK's largest carbon store — holding more carbon than all the forests of Britain, France, and Germany combined. When peatlands are drained or damaged, they release this stored carbon as CO₂. Peatland restoration has become a national conservation priority, supported by government funding and environmental charities. It collocates with 'restoration,' 'carbon,' 'degraded,' 'blanket bog,' and 'conservation.'

- Scotland's peatlands store an estimated 1.6 billion tonnes of carbon, making their protection essential to national climate targets. 苏格兰的泥炭地估计储存了16亿吨碳,使其保护成为国家气候目标的关键。Las turberas de Escocia almacenan un estimado de 1600 millones de toneladas de carbono, lo que hace que su protección resulte esencial para los objetivos climáticos nacionales.スコットランドの泥炭地は推定16億トンの炭素を蓄えており、その保護は国の気候目標にとって不可欠です。스코틀랜드의 이탄지는 약 16억 톤의 탄소를 저장하고 있어 그 보호가 국가 기후 목표에 필수적입니다.
