- Abstract
- The Peatlands of Wales map series provides an updated distribution of Welsh Peatlands (to 2022) based on current evidence sources. The data layers were created on a 50m grid whereby the presence and thickness of peat are elucidated from a range of sources for each 50m grid cell across Wales. A peatland evidence score defines the level of confidence in the presence of peat in any given grid cell, with those cells scoring more than 2 on this scale of 1-10, captured in the ‘Peatlands of Wales’ peat distribution map. This dataset shows the CO2 Emissions across the Peatlands of Wales area. Calculated from the Broad Habitat Condition categories. Emissions are given in t ha-1 yr-1 and Total emissions are calculated by cell in t yr-1 using the area of the cell. Full details of the sources of data used to build this map as well as the methodologies used to define the level of evidence for the presence of peat and derivation of the peat evidence score as well as estimates of peat thickness (depth), carbon stock estimates and greenhouse gas emissions are presented in the Peatlands of Wales mapping methodology report.

- Purpose
- For effective targeting and monitoring of peatland restoration, a baseline of the peatland area is required. The Peatland of Wales map represents a compilation of existing data sources that map the Peatland areas in Wales, and estimates greenhouse gas emissions.

- Supplemental Information
- Neilltuwyd ffactorau allyriadau, fel rhestrwyd yn Evans et al., (2017) i bob categori cynefin bras ar gyfer carbon deuocsid (CO2) a methan (CH4) yn ogystal ag amcangyfrif allyriadau cyffredinol (t CO2-e ha-1 bl-1). , yn seiliedig ar botensial cynhesu byd-eang 100 mlynedd IPCC AR4 ac yn cynnwys amcangyfrifon N2O ac fflwcs carbon afonol (Tabl 13). Rhoddwyd y dosbarth cyflwr cynefin eang i bob cell 50m o ddewis yn ôl arwynebedd mwyaf. Neilltuwyd y ffactor allyriadau yn ôl ha i bob cell yn seiliedig ar y dosbarth eang hwn ac yna cyfrifwyd cyfanswm yr allyriadau NTG (t bl-1) drwy luosi arwynebedd y gell mewn m2 â 0.0001 i'w drawsnewid yn hectarau.
