Burned trees alongside the highway in Slave Lake, Canada, where a large wildfire burned in May 2011. Some peat in the area continued to burn through the winter, until spring rains and melting snow finally extinguished it. Peat, made up of sphagnum and other mosses, contains more carbon than all the world’s trees and plants, and nearly as much as the atmosphere itself. And like forests, peatlands are threatened by climate change. Warming temperatures can dry out peatlands — which cover 3% of the earth’s land surface, mostly in northern latitudes in Canada, Alaska, Europe and Russia — making them more susceptible to fires, and to deeper, more intense burning. Scientists worry that if the intensity of fires increases, more carbon will be released into the atmosphere. @edouphoto captured this scene in mid-June while on #nytassignment in Alberta, Canada.
