Description :
This paper examines blanket peat catchments in northern Britain and provides data on the erosion and revegetation of land drains and the sediment production from peatland drains. It provides a novel survey of the geomorphology of peat drains and the first detailed measured comparison of sediment flux from open drains, intact peat subcatchments, drains that have been blocked by peat dams and sediment production from the catchment outlet.
