Anthropogenic impacts on lowland tropical peatland biogeochemistry
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 …

Degradation of Southeast Asian tropical peatlands and integrated strategies for their better management and restoration
About half of the world's tropical peatlands occur in Southeast (SE) Asia, where they serve
as a major carbon (C) sink. Nearly 80% of natural peatlands in this region have been …

Methane emissions from tree stems in neotropical peatlands
S Sjögersten, A Siegenthaler, OR Lopez… - New …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Neotropical peatlands emit large amounts of methane (CH 4) from the soil surface, but fluxes
from tree stems in these ecosystems are unknown. In this study we investigated CH 4 …

Does litter input determine carbon storage and peat organic chemistry in tropical peatlands?
Tropical peatlands hold large amounts of carbon but the influence of litter inputs and
variation in peat properties with depth on carbon storage are poorly understood. Here we …
