The Canadian peat industry and its association (Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss Association - CSPMA) have promoted the ecological restoration of residual peat deposits as their first choice of rehabilitation strategies. Peatland restoration attempts to resolve the conflict between the environmental impacts and economical use of peatlands by enabling the return of ecological functions after peat extraction. Industry based research programs initiated 20 years ago successfully developed a restoration method for bogs (peatlands dominated by Sphagnum) but there is still some habitats within bogs (margin zone) or type of bogs, namely forested, saline and block-cut peatlands, in need of further research to achieve sound ecological restoration. Optimization of Sphagnum farming techniques for the sustainable production Sphagnum fibers is also of interest for the CSPMA. Moreover, new harvest techniques can lead to the exposure of the underlying minerotrophic peat and mineral deposits. For those sites, restoration towards a minerotrophic peatland (fen), or a wet meadow, may be more desirable. Within all those types of land use management, measurements will be conducted to evaluate the return of different ecosystem functions, namely the specialised plant biodiversity of peatlands, natural hydrological regime and long term carbon sequestration following different management options. The proposed research program is pan-Canadian and is guided by a perspective of sustainable and responsible development of the peat resources.

加拿大泥炭工业及其协会（加拿大泥炭藓泥炭藓协会- CSPMA）促进了剩余泥炭沉积物的生态恢复作为他们的首选恢复策略。泥炭地恢复试图通过使泥炭开采后的生态功能恢复来解决泥炭地的环境影响和经济利用之间的冲突。20年前开始的基于工业的研究计划成功地开发了一种沼泽（泥炭地占主导地位的泥炭地）的恢复方法，但仍然有一些栖息地在沼泽（边缘区）或沼泽类型，即森林，盐碱地和块状切割泥炭地，需要进一步研究，以实现良好的生态恢复。优化泥炭藓种植技术以实现泥炭藓纤维的可持续生产也是CSPMA感兴趣的。此外，新的收获技术可能导致下面的矿营养泥炭和矿藏暴露。对于这些网站，恢复对minerotrophic泥炭地（沼泽），或潮湿的草甸，可能是更可取的。在所有这些类型的土地使用管理中，将进行测量以评估不同生态系统功能的回报，即泥炭地的专门植物生物多样性、自然水文状况和不同管理方案的长期碳固存。拟议的研究计划是泛加拿大的，是由泥炭资源的可持续和负责任的发展的角度指导。
