It found that peaty soil covers roughly 8.5% of England’s surface with four-fifths of England’s peatlands also revealed to be in a dry and degraded state.
The map showed that three-quarters of the surface was shown to be covered by plants and land use types associated with dryer conditions such as heather, while only 1% is covered by important peat-forming plants such as sphagnum moss.
