Abstract

Based on the ‘European Mires Book’ of the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), this article provides a composite map of national datasets as the first comprehensive peatland map for the whole of Europe. We also present estimates of the extent of peatlands and mires in each European country individually and for the entire continent. A minimum peat thickness criterion has not been strictly applied, to allow for (often historically determined) country-specific definitions. Our ‘peatland’ concept includes all ‘mires’, which are peatlands where peat is being formed. The map was constructed by merging national datasets in GIS while maintaining the mapping scales of the original input data. This ‘bottom-up’ approach indicates that the overall area of peatland in Europe is 593,727 km². Mires were found to cover more than 320,000 km² (around 54 % of the total peatland area). If shallow-peat lands (< 30 cm peat) in European Russia are also taken into account, the total peatland area in Europe is more than 1,000,000 km2, which is almost 10 % of the total surface area. Composite inventories of national peatland information, as presented here for Europe, may serve to identify gaps and priority areas for field survey, and help to cross-check and calibrate remote sensing based mapping approaches.

欧洲泥炭地地图

基于国际泥炭保护组织(IMCG)的“欧洲泥炭书”，本文提供了一个国家数据集的合成地图，作为整个欧洲的第一个综合泥炭地地图。我们还对每个欧洲国家单独和整个欧洲大陆的泥炭地和泥潭的范围进行了估计。最低泥炭厚度标准尚未严格适用，以允许(通常是历史上确定的)具体国家的定义。我们的“泥炭地”概念包括所有的“泥炭地”，泥炭地是泥炭形成的地方。该地图是在保持原始输入数据的比例尺的基础上，在GIS中合并国家数据集构建的。这种“自下而上”的方法表明，欧洲泥炭地的总面积为593,727平方公里。泥炭地覆盖面积超过32万平方公里(约占泥炭地总面积的54%)。如果将俄罗斯欧洲部分的浅泥炭地(< 30厘米泥炭地)也计算在内，欧洲的泥炭地总面积超过1,000,000平方公里，几乎占总表面积的10%。这里为欧洲提出的国家泥炭地资料综合清单可用于查明实地调查的差距和优先领域，并有助于交叉核对和校准基于遥感的制图方法。

期刊介绍： Mires and Peat is a peer-reviewed internet journal focusing specifically on mires, peatlands and peat. As a truly “free-to-users” publication (i.e. NO CHARGES to authors OR readers), it is immediately accessible to readers and potential authors worldwide. It is published jointly by the International Peatland Society (IPS) and the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG). Mires and Peat is indexed by Thomson Reuters Web of Science (2017 Impact Factors: 1.326 [two-year] and 1.638 [five-year]), Elsevier Scopus, EBSCO Environment Complete, CABI Abstracts, CSA Proquest (including their Aquatic Science and Fisheries Abstracts ASFA, Ecology, Entomology, Animal Behavior, Aqualine and Pollution databases) and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Mires and Peat also participates in the CABI Full Text Repository, and subscribes to the Portico E-journal Preservation Service (LTPA). Mires and Peat publishes high-quality research papers on all aspects of peatland science, technology and wise use, including: ecology, hydrology, survey, inventory, classification, functions and values of mires and peatlands; scientific, economic and human aspects of the management of peatlands for agriculture, forestry, nature conservation, environmental protection, peat extraction, industrial development and other purposes; biological, physical and chemical characteristics of peat; and climate change and peatlands. Short communications and review articles on these and related topics will also be considered; and suggestions for special issues of the Journal based on the proceedings of conferences, seminars, symposia and workshops will be welcomed. The submission of material by authors and from countries whose work would otherwise be inaccessible to the international community is particularly encouraged.
