A good end to the year for our team! A paper has just been published that highlights the role of peatlands as climate-change refugia in Central Europe and the importance of microclimate. It is part of the special issue *Climate Change Refugia Conservation* in *CSP

Heather in bloom, the buzzing of bees and bumblebees… autumn is just around the corner… #peatlands @calliergon

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

We collected some peat cores for physico-chemical analyses. Our #Mireclim sites are very diverse. And the last photo – that used to be a Tomst logger. Looks like the animals had a party. Again 🙂

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

We cordially invite you to join the Peatland group within the MEB-network!

[Jonas Lembrechts @JLembrechts]

The word is out officially, now: SoilTemp has finished its transformation into 'The MEB-network' - a fully-fledged research network that goes far beyond just being a database.

Let me show you all the ways you can get involved here:

Another field trip behind us! This time, we retrieved our 1-year tea bags (@TeaBagIndex) and replaced them with a fresh set. Nature treated us to the blooming of **Ledum palustre** and **Eriophorum vaginatum**—a truly picturesque time of year!🐍

Hi, we moved to Bluesky @mireclim.bsky.social. See you there!

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

Time for reading out the loggers and taking samples. Some animals have damaged some plots, but we have fixed most of them. And autumn is beautiful here, but day is too short…

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

We had a very good time on peatlands with @GarneauMichell1, who is an advisory board member of @Mireclim project, lots of discussions and observations. Groundwater level in some peatlands has dropped below 100 cm. Even though autumn is usually the driest, it is too low!#NCNtotlen

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

@f_spicher @TOMSTloggers No, not yet 🙂

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

Why do we use TMS-4 Long (30 cm) instead Standard @TOMSTloggers? In the peatlands we are exploring, in some places the mosses have grown more than 10 cm. It is great! Here, you can see:

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

@f_spicher @TOMSTloggers Yes, it's always a controversial issue. After winter, vegetation will settle down a bit, only to boom again in summer. Well, we have to include this in the results discussion, because each object has a slightly different growth. We are not able to follow the active surface layer

Expedition to read meteorological sensors in the #BiałowieżaForest as part of the @MIRECLIM and @bog_pine projects. Thank you @adriankaszkiel for good cooperation 💪🏻

#WorldPeatlandsDay

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

Happy #WorldPeatlandDay ! We still don't know much about peatlands. One of the puzzles we are looking for is their #climate. Thanks to @NCN_PL, we are conducting research in over 30 peatlands in Poland to discover it. We celebrate during fieldworks!

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

One day Adrian weighed more than 600 tea bags for @TeaBagIndex, which we are putting in the bogs starting tomorrow. What an amazing job! The smell of tea was everywhere 😆

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

We install sensors in eastern Poland. Completely different peatlands, mostly shallow with dead tree trunks in the water, which are an unpleasant surprise during exploration. The ability to quickly balance is a valuable skill 😄. Eriophorum 💚 compensates🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟 time🤬

[MIRECLIM project @MIRECLIM]

Hello, is it me you looking for 🎵 😄? Preparations before the next field expedition. Fortunately, the weather is supposed to be GOOD!
