The 2022 Photo Contest

Congratulations to the three winners of this year’s photo contest for the best peatland pictures.

David Santiago Rocha Cárdenas

The Valle de los Cojines Peatland is in the northeast branch of the Cordillera de los Andes in Colombia. This peatland is located at Cocuy National Natural Park and is a peatland under threat due to climate change and cattle ranching. Scientists at the Laboratory of Ecosystems and Climate Change (LECC) at Pontifical Xaverian University study this site and estimate peat depth as well as carbon dioxide and methane fluxes.

We visited this site in the Flow Country, in the North of the Scottish Mainland in December 2021 as my first fieldwork trip after starting my PhD in October. I am researching peatland chemistry in the hope of finding a way to monitor peatland health using a more sustainable method than taking peat cores: teabags! We bury the tea bags, then collect them three months later and look at how they have changed at the molecular level. It is a real privilege to visit these sites, and definitely one of my favourite parts about my work! Having been on more trips since, it has been really special to see a whole host of wildlife as well as how the sites change throughout the year.

The Western Australian Pitcher Plant (Cephalotus follicularis) is a botanical unicorn, found only in the south-west region of Western Australia. It grows in peatlands alongside many endemic orchids, sedges, rushes and shrubs.
