The export of old doc fuels efflux of old carbon dioxide from disturbed tropical peat drainage systems in malaysia
Tropical peatlands constitute ~11% of global peatland area and ~12% of the global peat C pool. Malaysia alone...
Carbon dioxide balance of a secondary tropical peat swamp forest in Sarawak, Malaysia
Tropical peatlands are important reservoirs of terrestrial carbon. Therefore, net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from this...
Continuous measurements of soil CO2 and CH4 fluxes in two tropical peat forests with high and low ground water level in Sarawak, Malaysia, by using an automated multi-chamber systems
We will present new observations on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes, which were started in September...
Restoration of peatland ecosystems and biodiversity in U Minh region of Mekong Delta, Vietnam
SUMMARY Remaining petlands distributed mainly in U Minh region of Lower Mekong Delta and they have protected asnational parks:...
Haze and peatlands: the top three challenges of tackling smouldering megafires
One again, peat fires raged in 2015 in Indonesia and their extent was staggering. They emitted in excess of...
Greenhouse gas emissions factors for drained and rewetted boreal, temperate and tropical peatlands
SUMMARY Organic soils store an estimated 610 Gt of carbon (C) worldwide, an amount equivalent to >70% of the...
Greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of biomass grown for biogas production on rewetted agricultural fen peatland
Rewetting has been recommended to reduce CO2 emission and to restore the carbon sink function of drained peatland. Paludiculture,...
Impact of Sitka spruce bonafforestation on the carbon stocks of peaty gley soils – a chronosequence study in the north of England
Afforestation results in the sequestration of atmospheric CO2 as trees grow. In some circumstances afforestation on organo-mineral or organic...
Carbon dynamics in afforested peatland and organo-mineral soils
Peatlands occupy approximately 20% of the Irish landscape and contain over 50% of total soil carbon stocks. Organo-mineral soils...
Uncertainties, deficiencies and unknowns in greenhouse gas emissions from tropical peatlands
Tropical peat swamp forest forms one of the most efficient carbon-sequestering ecosystems and important carbon stores. Some peatlands, even...
