“…Previously, marshy peatland areas and upstream valleys acted as natural sponges, efficiently storing water from heavy rainfall, and gradually releasing it as small, steady streams. Across Europe, many of these vital wetland areas have been drained and altered [11][12][13][14]. As a result, the once steady flows of water have transformed into highly pulsating streams, exhibiting immediate responses to rainfall.…”

“…The impact of wetlands on hydrological extremes and nutrient export has been studied using different hydrological models [13,[18][19][20][21][22], including the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model [23], and observational studies [12,24,25]. Impacts seem to vary with location [26] and wetland type but the consensus is that wetlands reduce peak flows [27,28] and nutrient loading [29,30].…”

“…While some studies have shown that peatlands reduce peak flood magnitudes (Acreman et al, 2003; Kadykalo & Findlay, 2016; Mitsch et al, 1977; Wu et al, 2020) others have indicated that they instead increase flood magnitude depending on their available storage (Acreman & Holden, 2013; Bay, 1969; Bullock & Acreman, 2003; Burt, 1995; Holden & Burt, 2003). For example, a recent study conducted by Wu et al (2023), investigated how different types and locations of peatlands affect their efficiency in regulating floods and droughts in the Nenjiang River Basin, China. By using a hydrological modelling platform, they found that wetlands have the capability to mitigate extreme floods and alleviate severe droughts within the basin.…”
