A new study reveals that, for the first time, areas of Canada's boreal peatlands damaged by oil and gas exploration have failed to recover as scientists and companies predicted and instead have led to a tripling of methane emissions, with global implications. The study, "Increased methane emissions from boreal peatlands following linear disturbances," appears in Communications Earth & Environment.
