Over the past three decades oil palm plantation (OPP) in Indonesia has been developed on peatland. Expansion of OPP is a large scale land use change and is having dynamics to the environments. In the perspective of nationallevel resource management and policy development regarding peatlands, understanding the historical expansion of OPP over peatland and explores the dynamics of aboveground biomass (AGB) during the land use changes is much needed.
