Peatlands are also sinks and sources of several natural greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). More than 75% of deep peat soils in Wales are covered in semi-natural vegetation. Most of this is upland blanket bog, with significant amounts of fen and flush and, locally, lowland raised bog. These are all UK Biodiversity Action Plan priority habitats with UK and Welsh targets for habitat management and restoration. The National Peat Map for Wales was produced by Forest Research on behalf of Forestry Commission Wales and also involved CCW and EAW. The data shows the total extent of deep peat, modified deep peat, shallow peaty soils and soils with peaty pockets. The extent of deep peat is based on soil (NSRI), drift geology (BGS) and peatland habitat mapping (CCW Phase 1 survey), with the latter being taken as evidence of deep peat when NSRI/BGS is lacking. The data was further improved by making use of recently digitised soil mapping for Welsh forests from the original Forestry Commission soil survey records. The extent of available FC soil survey information across Wales is in total 74,985 ha that have been surveyed.
