Botrydium granulatum
These are single-celled, multinucleate, yellow-green algae with a rhizoid extension that attaches them to the mud. Its surface can have tiny calcium carbonate crystals.
It often forms a flush across damp mud in response to a nutrient pulse associated with drying and rewetting.

Drained peatlands cover 2% of EU farmland but produce 80% of agricultural GHG emissions. At the #ALFAwetlands #REWET Final Conference, a new policy brief showed why rewetting can cut emissions, restore biodiversity and store water! 🔗 Link below.

The £79m for trees and local nature recovery is a sensible response to this summer's drought. It would go further if land managers were named among those delivering it, and if upland fuel management sat alongside rewetting. Drought dries out heather as well as rivers.

3. I prefer acrylic ink bc the pigment stays suspended (mixed) very evenly and it's waterproof so doesn't rewet. Watercolor works of course, but you have to be careful of rewetting. Different paints behave differently in this way
Not comprehensive, but I think most important points. Hope it helps!

Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 22 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41579-026-01378-9This study shows that rewetting activates a small, distinct subset of dryland biocrust bacteria, with mature communities showing greater microbial activity independent of light conditions.

Summer moorland wildfires have burned up to 20 cm into peat in some areas, researchers report. The MA argues that reducing vegetation fuel through controlled burning, cutting and grazing should work alongside rewetting.

@kentwildlife.bsky.social is doing a stellar #rewilding job getting the #beavers and #bison more space to roam and kickstart natural processes like rewetting, opening up areas through grazing and nutrient cycling.
Two new bridges, the first of their kind in the UK, have opened in West Blean and Thornden Woods near Canterbury, giving Kent's free-roaming European bison herd access to twice as much habitat.

Love this #rewilding success story! No amphibians were recorded before restoration. Within months of rewetting, frogs, toads and smooth newts had arrived, with frogspawn now carpeting wetland areas each spring. Grass snakes, adders, slowworms and common lizards have all increased.
