Greening of the Antarctic is inevitable, I suppose, given what we’re doing climatewise.

Paludiculture was a new term to me.
.
“ Paludiculture (“palus“ – lat. “mire, morass”) is the productive use of wet peatlands. It includes traditional peatland cultivation (reed mowing, litter usage) and new approaches for utilization, for example the energetic use of biomass of wet peatlands. Paludiculture includes the preservation of peat as a main objective. In many cases, even peat growth may occur for example in reed usage. While the above ground biomass is skimmed off, the underground biomass accumulates and new peat formation may take place.

Saw one of these (Scarlet Tiger) on my window yesterday - went to grab my phone to get a photo and of course it vanished!
