1.4-1.5 million tonnes of carbon stored in Marsden Moor's peat bogs, according to a University of Leeds study.
Marsden Moor, a popular site between Manchester and Leeds, stores between 1 million and 1.5 million tonnes of carbon in its blanket peat bogs, according to a four-year study by the University of Leeds. The moor's 21 million cubic tonnes of peatland equates to 250,000 round-the-world flights. A 2019 study of a smaller 350-hectare site on the moors found 300,000 tonnes of carbon had been sequestered there.
