Tropical peatlands hold large amounts of carbon but the influence of litter inputs and
variation in peat properties with depth on carbon storage are poorly understood. Here we …

Tropical peatlands store around one-sixth of the global peatland carbon pool (105
gigatonnes), equivalent to 30% of the carbon held in rainforest vegetation. Deforestation …

Tropical peat carbon compound composition (CCC) is a highly understudied subject.
Advanced understanding of peat CCC and carbon dynamics in differing conditions is …

Tropical peatlands represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane
(CH 4) to the atmosphere. However, we do not know where in the peat profile these gases …

Accurate assessment of tropical peatland carbon dynamics is important to (a) determine the
size of the active carbon pool,(b) estimate the scale of transfers of peat-derived greenhouse …

Tropical peatland ecosystems are a significant component of the global carbon cycle and
feature a range of distinct vegetation types, but the extent of links between contrasting plant …

Northern peatlands have stored large amounts (~ 500 Pg) of carbon (C) since the last
glaciation. Combined with peat C are nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) …

Abstract Background and Aims Tropical peat swamp forests (PSF) are great stores of
terrestrial carbon and host unique biodiversity. Despite their importance for carbon …

Litter decomposition is an important control on carbon accumulation in tropical peatlands.
We investigated the contribution of different litter tissues from two peatland tree species …

Tropical peatlands play an important role in the global carbon cycling but little is known
about factors regulating carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes from these …
