Statistics Program – V7 The distribution of peatland in Europe

The distribution of peatland in Europe is strongly imbalanced, with much more peatland occurring in the north than in the south.

The overall area of peatland in Europe is estimated at 593.727 km2 (5,4% of the total surface area). Mires cover more than 320.000 km2 (about 54% of the peatland area).

If shallow-peat lands (< 30 cm peat) in European Russia are also taken into account, the total peatland area in Europe is more than 1,000,000 km2, which is almost 10 % of the total surface area.
