Peatlands Are More Beneficial if Conserved and Restored than Drained for Monoculture Crops
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Peatlands are especially important but fragile tropical landscapes. The importance of peatlands is owing to their ability to 1) sequester a considerable amount of terrestrial carbon, 2) store freshwater, and 3) regulate floods during the rainy season ...
