Review of emissions from smouldering peat fires and their contribution to regional haze episodes
, 2018 Smouldering peat fires, the largest fires on Earth in terms of fuel consumption, are reported in six continents and are responsible for regional haze episodes. Haze is the large-scale accumulation of smoke at low altitudes in the atmosphere. It decreases

New estimate of particulate emissions from Indonesian peat fires in 2015
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 . Indonesia contains large areas of peatland that have been drained and cleared of natural vegetation, making them susceptible to burning. Peat fires emit considerable amounts of carbon dioxide, particulate matter (PM) and other trace gases, contributing

Misinterpreting carbon accumulation rates in records from near-surface peat
Scientific Reports, 2019 Peatlands are globally important stores of carbon (C) that contain a record of how their rates of C accumulation have changed over time. Recently, near-surface peat has been used to assess the effect of current land use practices on C accumulation rates ...

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

Effects of shading on relative competitive advantage of three species of Sphagnum [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2015 (1) Sphagnum is an important genus of bryophytes holding 10–15 % of the terrestrial carbon stock. With climate change a drier surface may increase the abundance of vascular plants on peatlands, so shading of Sphagnum may increase. Here we describe growth

Interdependence of peat and vegetation in a tropical peat swamp forest
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999 The visual uniformity of tropical peat swamp forest masks the considerable variation in forest structure that has evolved in response to differences and changes in peat characteristics over many millennia. Details are presented of forest structure and tree composition of the principal peat swamp forest types in the upper catchment of Sungai Sebangau ...
