Current studies on tropical peatlands in Indonesia focus mostly on the environmental effects of management practices. Studies on the efforts of farmers to conserve and rehabilitate degraded tropical peatlands by operating agroforestry systems have been ...

The effectiveness of canal blocking for hydrological restoration in tropical peatland [PDF]
The Peatland Restoration Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BRG-RI), an agency that is mandated to restore 2 million hectares of degraded peatland by 2020, has developed a 3-R approach towards tackling the problem based on the program of rewetting ...

Abstract The capacity of terrestrial ecosystems to retain carbon or sequester more atmospheric carbon is frequently investigated as a potential natural climate solution. However, global carbon inventories, national carbon assessments, and atmospheric inversion studies suffer from key limitations: infrequent estimates, low spatial resolution, or a lack ...

Potential of APSIS-InSAR for measuring surface oscillations of tropical peatlands.
Tropical peatland across Southeast Asia is drained extensively for production of pulpwood, palm oil and other food crops. Associated increases in peat decomposition have led to widespread subsidence, deterioration of peat condition and CO2 emissions ...

Abstract Land surface models are crucial components within earth system models, simulating the exchanges of water, energy, carbon, and nitrogen between the land surface, atmosphere, and subsurface. One challenge is the large number of uncertain parameters in these models.

Short Abstract Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government, but our analysis of two years of UK newspaper coverage on this issue reveals very little attention to it. Our multimodal framing analysis shows that news reports are largely devoid of addressing the root causes ...

Effects of sterilization techniques on chemodenitrification and N2O production in tropical peat soil microcosms [PDF]
Chemodenitrification – the non-enzymatic process of nitrite reduction – may be an important sink for fixed nitrogen in tropical peatlands. Rates and products of chemodenitrification are dependent on O2, pH, Fe2+ concentration, and organic matter ...

Subsidence and carbon loss in drained tropical peatlands [PDF]
Abstract. Conversion of tropical peatlands to agriculture leads to a release of carbon from previously stable, long-term storage, resulting in land subsidence that can be a surrogate measure of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. We present an analysis of recent large-scale subsidence monitoring studies in Acacia and oil palm plantations on peatland in SE
