File Name : Restoration of blanket peat moorland delays stormflow from hillslopes and reduces peak discharge. Shuttleworth et al. (2019), 14 pgs.
This paper reports a before-after-control-intervention studies in the South Pennines (UK) representing the first rigorous experimental assessment of the impact of blanket peat restoration on catchment runoff. It evaluates the hydrological impacts of two standard restoration interventions; revegetation of bare peat, and revegetation of bare peat with additional gully blocking.
