Summary:
SUMMARY
Peat surface moisture was significantly higher in the forest comparing that of grass land. This high moisture in the forest will be important for prevent easy igniting of surface peat. To control the carbon emission by peat fire and microbiological decomposition from tropical peatlands, the efficiencies of rewetting peatlands by risinggroundwater level, controlling peat fire by firefighting, recovering forest were evaluated with some outcomes of theJST-JICA SATREPS project ―Wild Fire and Carbon Management in Peat-Forest in Indonesia”. Carbon emission…
