Abstract Information on temporal and spatial variations in soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes
from tropical peat forests is essential to predict the influence of climate change and estimate …

The carbon balance of tropical peatlands was investigated using measurements of gaseous
fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) at several land-use types, including …

Soil CO2 flux was measured monthly over a year from tropical peatland of Sarawak,
Malaysia using a closed-chamber technique. The soil CO2 flux ranged from 100 to 533 mg …

Monthly measurements of carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O)
fluxes in peat soils were carried out and compared with groundwater level over a year at four …

Present tropical peat deposits are the outcome of net carbon removal from the atmosphere
and form one of the largest terrestrial organic carbon stores on the Earth. Reclamation of …

In the last 40 years, large areas of the Mau forest, the largest contiguous tropical montane
forest in East Africa, have been cleared for agriculture. To date, there are no empirical data …

This study investigates the factors controlling the soil CO 2 and CH 4 fluxes and quantifies
annual cumulative soil respiration (RS), heterotrophic respiration (RH), and soil CH 4 …

To assess the effects of soil water status on the spatial variation in soil carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes, we examined these gas fluxes and …

Although soil carbon dioxide (CO 2) efflux from tropical forests may play an important role in
global carbon (C) balance, our knowledge of the fluctuations and factors controlling soil CO …

Tropical peatlands are vital ecosystems that play an important role in global carbon storage
and cycles. Current estimates of greenhouse gases from these peatlands are uncertain as …
