Tropical Peatland Hydrology Simulated With a Global Land Surface Model [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 Tropical peatlands are among the most carbon‐dense ecosystems on Earth, and their water storage dynamics strongly control these carbon stocks. The hydrological functioning of tropical peatlands differs from that of northern peatlands, which has not yet ...

Impact of forest plantation on methane emissions from tropical peatland [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2020 AbstractTropical peatlands are a known source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, but their contribution to atmospheric CH4 is poorly constrained. Since the 1980s, extensive areas of the peatlands in Southeast Asia have experienced land‐cover change to smallholder agriculture and forest plantations. This land‐cover change generally involves lowering of

Estimation of Ground Water Level (GWL) for Tropical Peatland Forest Using Machine Learning
IEEE Access, 2022 The tropical area has a large area of peatland, which is an important ecosystem that is regarded as home by millions of people, plants and animals. However, the dried-up and degraded peatland becomes extremely easy to burn, and in case of fire, it will ...

Quantifying the fluxes of carbon loss from an undrained tropical peatland ecosystem in Indonesia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsConservation of undrained tropical peatland ecosystems is critical for climate change mitigation as they store a tremendous amount of soil carbon that is preserved under anoxic water-logged conditions.

Vast, overlooked peat, and organic soils in Brazil's Cerrado: carbon storage, dynamics, and stability. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...

Is the residual ash method applicable to tropical peatlands? A case study from Brunei Darussalam [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2022 Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia are a significant carbon sink, but are under major threat of fire resulting in significant carbon emissions. This study focused on the residual ash method, which has not been applied before for a tropical peatland, to
