From carbon sink to carbon source: extensive peat oxidation in insular Southeast Asia since 1990
, 2017 Tropical peatlands of the western part of insular Southeast Asia have experienced extensive land cover changes since 1990. Typically involving drainage, these land cover changes have resulted in increased peat oxidation in the upper peat profile. In this

Spatial variations in heterotrophic respiration from oil palm plantations on tropical peat soils
Frontiers in Forests and Global ChangeOil palm plantations growing on peat soil are associated with high soil CO2 emissions. Oil palm plantations are set up with regular spatial patterns consisting of different surface management microforms: bare soil harvest paths, frond piles, cover plants

Study on the vertical distribution of carbon and ash content and its relationship with ombrogenous peat depth [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesPeatlands have unique characteristics that are largely determined by the peat thickness. Ombrogenous peat has a high carbon content and low ash content, but not many studies have reported that this relationship also occurs in deep peat domes.

Effect of conservation tillage and peat application on weed infestation on a clay soil [PDF]
, 2003 Amendment of soil with peat is an attempt to avoid crop yield variation in the transition to conservation tillage, as it improves seedbed conditions and crop growth in drought-sensitive clay soils. Weed infestations were compared in 1999-2000 between the
