printed copies

Editors: Jack Rieley, Raimo Sopo, Allan Robertson

The International Peat Journal was a peer-reviewed scientific publication dedicated to research, technology, and policy concerning peatlands and peat use worldwide. It published original studies, reviews, and technical reports on topics such as peat formation and ecology, wetland hydrology, peat chemistry, environmental impacts of peat extraction, restoration and conservation of peatlands, and industrial and agricultural uses of peat.

Articles covered a broad range of disciplines — from geology, soil science, and botany to climate science, engineering, and environmental law — reflecting the complex role of peatlands as ecological habitats, carbon stores, and economic resources. The journal served as a platform for scientists, environmental managers, policymakers, and industry experts to exchange knowledge and promote sustainable peatland management and utilization.

It was an important record of international research, documenting both the practical applications of peat and the scientific understanding of peatland ecosystems.
