Welsh Government: Unified Peatland (3rd Party Data)
This dataset was created by CEH on behalf of Welsh Government, therefore this data is wholly owned by Welsh Government and licenced to Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for use. Peatlands (defined here as deep (=/>0.4 m) peat soils and supporting both mire habitats and other habitat/land-use types) cover 4.3% of Wales, and represent Wales largest terrestrial ecosystem store of carbon, as well as important reservoirs of biodiversity. This work in creating this dataset was undertaken as part of the Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (GMEP) in order to provide improved data on the extent and condition (in terms of broad habitat cover and drainage, as opposed to the nature conservation definition) of Welsh Peatlands, as a basis for: - prioritising areas for restoration - monitoring long-term change in the status of the Welsh peat resource - estimating current greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Welsh peatlands as a result of drainage and land-use change, and - estimating the future climate mitigation potential of peat restoration.

This data was created as part of the Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (GMEP) project. This dataset was created by merging polygons from four other datasets, three of which are owned by Natural Resources Wales (NRW), these being, Phase 1 Habitat Survey, Forestry Commission Wales peat data, and the Lowland Peatland survey of Wales.
