QUOTE `{}`	Using 10m satellite imagery and machine learning, the research team developed the new digital map European Wetland Types, covering six categories of wetlands across 38 European countries at a spatial resolution of 10 metres.
QUOTE `{}`	The mapping shows that Europe’s wetlands are highly fragmented into many small and separate areas. Around 27–33% of wetlands occur in contiguous areas smaller than 25 hectares, while 7–11% are found in very small patches under 1 hectare.
QUOTE `{}`	The researchers estimate that around one fifth of Europe’s wetlands are highly affected by human activities, with inland marshes being the most heavily disturbed.
QUOTE `{}`	At the same time, up to 5 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalents of soil carbon may have been released compared to a scenario in which these areas had remained undisturbed.
