Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

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 …

Executive Summary The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use1 (AFOLU) sector
encompasses managed ecosystems and offers significant mitigation opportunities while …

Carbon and nitrogen losses from degraded wetlands and methane emissions from flooded
wetlands are both important sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, the net …

There is a clear need for transformative change in the land management and food
production sectors to address the global land challenges of climate change mitigation …

Accurate inventory of tropical peatland is important in order to (a) determine the magnitude
of the carbon pool;(b) estimate the scale of transfers of peat‐derived greenhouse gases to …

The world's largest area of tropical peatland ecosystems is found in South-East Asia. These
peatlands have globally significant carbon stocks and play an important role in regional and …

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 …

Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the
atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create …

Peatlands occupy a relatively small fraction of the Earth's land area, but they are a globally
important carbon store because of their high carbon density. Undisturbed peatlands are …
