Peatlands are carbon‐rich ecosystems that cover 185–423 million hectares (Mha) of the
earth's surface. The majority of the world's peatlands are in temperate and boreal zones …

The lowland peatlands of south‐east Asia represent an immense reservoir of fossil carbon
and are reportedly responsible for 30% of the global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from …

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 …

Forested tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia store at least 42 000 Million metric tonnes (Mt)

Studies of restoration ecology are well established for northern peatlands, but at an early
stage for tropical peatlands. Extensive peatland areas in Southeast Asia have been …

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 …

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 …

Extensive degradation of Indonesian peatlands by deforestation, drainage and recurrent
fires causes release of huge amounts of peat soil carbon to the atmosphere. Construction of …

Peatlands worldwide play a vital role in biosphere biogeochemical processes (Immirzi et al.,
