On May 16, 2019, the International Plant Protection\nDay was celebrated at the Botanical Garden of the University of Latvia, Riga.\nTraditionally, this day attracts visitors with excursions, as well as workshops\nand open-air labs guided and supervised by scientists and experts of various\nfields. This approach provides different scopes to explore the world of plants\nand processes in nature. This year, the event was attended by approximately 900\nvisitors, mostly school children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was already the second year when the event was\ncontributed also by LIFE Peat Restore team from the University of Latvia. The\nproject experts prepared a lab where anyone could investigate peatlands, get\nthe basic information about their development, find out what peat is and how it\nis formed, to explore cross-sections of peat layers, try to calculate the age\nof bogs, etc. To demonstrate human-caused impacts in peatlands, the project\nteam prepared small model bogs, one natural and the other one drained, to show\nthe differences in peat properties and plant composition. The experts\ndemonstrated also peat with different decomposition degrees and peat coring\ntechnique. Additionally, the visitors could learn bog plant species and find\nout more about their role in nature and practical uses. Use of magnifiers and\nmicroscope allowed exploring details of bogs plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
