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 …

Peatlands are wetland ecosystems that accumulate dead organic matter (ie, peat) when
plant litter production outpaces peat decay, usually under conditions of frequent or …

Peatlands are carbon-rich ecosystems that cover just three per cent of Earth's land surface,
but store one-third of soil carbon. Peat soils are formed by the build-up of partially …

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 …

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 …

Tropical peatlands are one of the largest near-surface reserves of terrestrial organic carbon,
and hence their stability has important implications for climate change,,. In their natural state …

Tropical peat swamp forest is a unique ecosystem that is most extensive in Southeast Asia,
where it is under enormous threat from logging, fire, and land conversion. Recent research …

Forested tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia store at least 42 000 Million metric tonnes (Mt)
of soil carbon. Human activity and climate change threatens the stability of this large pool …

Tropical peatlands contain one of the largest pools of terrestrial organic carbon, amounting
to about 89,000 teragrams (1 Tg is a billion kilograms). Approximately 65 per cent of this …

Consideration of a range of evidence from geomorphology, palynology, biogeography and
vegetation/climate modelling suggests that a north-south 'savanna corridor'did exist through …
