Fate of methane in canals draining tropical peatlands

Nature Communications
AbstractTropical wetlands and freshwaters are major contributors to the growing atmospheric methane (CH4) burden. Extensive peatland drainage has lowered CH4 emissions from peat soils in Southeast Asia, but the canals draining these peatlands may be hotspots of CH4 emissions.

Understanding Natural Regeneration in Burned Tropical Peatland: A Strategy to Accelerate the Forest Recovery Process

Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2022
The 2015’s massive forest fires have left large areas of burned peatlands that need to be restored, demanding substantial number of resources. To understand natural regeneration on burned peatland and how planting might accelerate its recovery process,

Tree stem methane emissions are regulated by site‐level biogeochemistry over species identity in Amazon floodplain forests

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 179-190, July 2026.
Summary Tree stems in Amazonian floodplains emit substantial methane (CH4), yet controls on emission variability remain unclear. Emissions span orders of magnitude between várzea (nutrient‐rich) and igapó (nutrient‐poor) forests and among trees, suggesting controls beyond flooding.

Peatfr: An R package to forecast tropical peatland fire risk with stochastic, machine learning, and optimisation methods

Ecological Informatics
Early detection of tropical peatland fire is crucial to anticipate and mitigate fire risks effectively. However, existing software packages for predicting the occurrence of fires often lack comprehensive integration of methods and techniques, which ...

Which forests could be protected by corporate zero deforestation commitments? A spatial assessment

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
The production of palm oil, soy, beef and timber are key drivers of global forest loss. For this reason, over 470 companies involved in the production, processing or distribution of these commodities have issued commitments to eliminate or reduce ...

Peatland restoration as an affordable nature-based climate solution with fire reduction and conservation co-benefits in Indonesia

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Ecosystem restoration is increasingly employed as a nature-based solution to a range of crises. Decisions over restoration must balance limited resources, land constraints, and competing demands.

Tropical Peatland Restoration Reduces Fire Occurrence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Extensive tropical peatlands in Indonesia have been drained and deforested, leaving them highly susceptible to fire. In response to widespread fires in 2015 El Niño, large‐scale restoration schemes were implemented. While fire occurrence was dramatically reduced during 2019 and 2023 El Niño, it is not known to what extent restoration ...

Drainage canal impacts on smoke aerosol emissions for Indonesian peatland and non-peatland fires

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Indonesia has experienced frequent fires due to the lowering of groundwater levels caused by drainage via extensive canal networks for agricultural development since the 1970s.

Salted Peat: The Forgotten Casualty of Rising Sea Level in Freshwater Coastal Tropical Peatlands

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
This paper invites reflection on the largely overlooked risk that rising sea levels may salinize coastal tropical peatlands, potentially destabilizing vegetation, carbon cycling, and livelihoods. By synthesizing emerging evidence, it highlights a critical blind spot in climate models and adaptation frameworks that warrant urgent scientific and policy ...

Future precipitation changes and their implications for tropical peatlands [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2007
Carbon (C) in tropical peatlands over Southeast Asia and Amazonia, if released to the atmosphere, can substantially increase the growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Over Southeast Asia, where the most extensive tropical peatlands in the world occur, 11 climate models for the IPCC Fourth Assessment show an overall decrease of rainfall in future ...
