Carbon fluxes from tropical peatlands : methane, carbon dioxide, and peatland subsidence
Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia have sequestered carbon over thousands of years and are an important global carbon stock. In natural peat swamp forests, high water levels inhibit decomposition due to anoxic conditions. However, they are being rapidly deforested and drained, releasing stored …

The tropical peatland carbon sink: climatic drivers and modelling of peat accumulation at the pan-tropical scale
Tropical peatlands are carbon-dense ecosystems and act as a globally important carbon sink. However, uncertainties exist about the climatic and environmental drivers of carbon accumulation and about the future of the carbon sink with climate change. There are also relatively few modelling studies …

Impact Assessment of Natural Resource Management Policy Research: A case study of the contribution of the Sustainable Wetlands Adaptation and Mitigation Project to the effectiveness of the Indonesian Forest Moratorium
… With SWAMP's timely knowledge generation on tropical wetland carbon dynamics we estimate that $4.03 - 40.26 million of these social benefits can be attributed to CIFOR. Furthermore, through its involvement in the IPCC Wetlands Supplement and the Blue Carbon Initiative, SWAMP stands to …

The Relationship between Carbon Emissions, Land Use Change and the Oil Palm Industry within Southeast Asia
<p>Tropical forests store the largest amount of carbon globally by sequestering up to 2.7 Gt of carbon every year in soils and vegetation. Deforestation and the conversion of tropical peatland soil have contributed to global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, as well as significantly hindering …
