Explore the Baupte peatland in Manche through a quick survey map from the 1949 "Atlas des tourbières de France". Discover the key sites, including the Baupte factory, River Sèves, marshes, and experimental areas with detailed descriptions. Witness the transformation of the old exploited sector flooded in 1995 and the terrestrialization of old pools with Phragmites and Typha in the valley. Get insights into the Sphagnum presence in trenches and measurement of CO2 exchange in WP1 Eriophorum angustifolium site.
