- Purpose
This dataset shows the estimated depth of peat across the Peatlands of Wales area as peat thickness. It also shows, as measured thickness, where the peat thickness is taken from measured values (averaged over the 50m cell) which covers nearly 10% of the cells in the Peatland of Wales area.
- Data quality
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.
- Supplemental information
Map showing the estimated thickness of peat across each 50m cell, where peat thickness has been directly observed the mean thickness of sampled sites in the cell is given. In otherareas the dominant soil series in the 50m grid cell identified from the Soils of Wales map, a map that combines all the detailed soil maps produced by the Soil Survey of England and Wales and shows the series from the most detailed map available. A minimum peat thickness of 40 cm was set.
