The Irish Peat Soil Map was published in 2024.

We used disparate data in a decision tree to refine the mapping of Irish peat soils. The resulting map reveals peat to underlie 1.66 M ha of Ireland (∼ 23.3 % of the country), identified with values of 83 % for overall accuracy and F1 score for peat areas.
