recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1002/2016gl072245

Abstract: Tropical peatlands are an important global carbon (C) store but are threatened by drainage for palm oil and wood pulp production. The store's stability depends on the dynamics of the peatland water table, which in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0190-4

Abstract: Abstract Conversion, drainage, and cultivation of tropical peatlands can change soil conditions, shifting the C balance of these systems, which is important for the global C cycle. We examined the effect of soil organic matter… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ancene.2021.100292

Abstract: Abstract The effective conservation and sustainable management of tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia is a major challenge. Pervasive deforestation, drainage and conversion to agricultural land, is disrupting the ecosystems’ ability to sequester atmospheric carbon. Conserving… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Environmental Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ab8495

Abstract: Tropical peatlands are a globally important source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Vegetation is critical in regulating fluxes, providing a conduit for emissions and regular carbon inputs. However, plant roots also release oxygen, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/land14091823

Abstract: Tropical peatlands in Indonesia are increasingly degraded by conventional oil palm practices involving drainage and chemical fertilizers. This study evaluates AeroHydro Culture (AHC), a method applying microbe-enriched organic media aboveground, as a sustainable alternative that… read more here.
