Risk factors for dental caries: A case study in peatlands and non-peatlands of West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Journal of Water and Health
The prevalence of dental caries in peatlands and non-peatlands in West Kalimantan require preventive acts based on its natural conditions and the behavior of local communities.

The Distribution of Peatland in Europe

Mires and Peat, 2006
This paper derives the distribution of peatland in Europe as the extent of peat and peat-topped soils indicated by soil databases. The data sources were the 1:1,000,000 European Soil Database (v1.0) and a data set of organic carbon content (%) for the topsoils of Europe at 1km x 1km resolution that was recently published in map ...

Meeting the challenge of mapping peatlands with remotely sensed data [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2008
Boreal peatlands play a major role in carbon and water cycling and other global environmental processes but understanding this role is constrained by inconsistent representation of peatlands on, or omission from, many global land cover maps.

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Intact peatlands experience smaller fire impact on tree cover than modified peatlands and non-peatlands in Indonesia

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Tropical ecosystems are increasingly exposed to fire disturbance and their responses have been assessed at regional to global scales. However, these fire-vegetation relationships remain insufficiently understood particularly in intact systems that have ...

Substratum sedimentology and topography of two riparian peat bogs in the Bieszczady Mountains (Carpathians) [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2020
The valley of the upper course of the San River in the Bieszczady Wysokie mountain range is, after the Orawa-Nowy Targ Basin, the area with the largest number of peat bogs in the Polish Carpathians.

Trust and Transformation: Institutional Complexity in Carbon Market Adoption in Emerging Economies' Land‐Based Private Sectors

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite global commitments under the Paris Agreement, empirical evidence on the involvement of the land‐based private sector of emerging economies in carbon trading remains limited. The study analyses how behavioural factors and institutional complexities influence the involvement of the land‐based private sector in carbon trading in Indonesia.

Using remote sensing to map degraded mountain peatlands with high climate mitigation potential in Colombia's Central Cordillera

Frontiers in Climate
Peatlands are the most carbon-dense ecosystems on earth. In tropical mountains, peatlands are numerous and susceptible to rapid degradation and carbon loss after human disturbances.

Morphology of peatland lakes [PDF]

Limnological Review, 2010
Morphology of peatland lakes The morphometric features of 10 small (0.1-2.9 ha) and shallow (4-16 m) peatland lakes, located in basins filled with peat, were examined. The elongation of such lakes and the development coefficient of their shorelines are very low. The mean depth is close to the maximum value (7.0±4.8 and 7.8±3.9 m, respectively),
