It is unclear to what extent emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from drained histosols in the tropics may contribute to the atmospheric burden of greenhouse gases. In particular, there is a critical need to elucidate their magnitude in oil palm plantations on these soils. We examined spatio-tempora...

Substantial N2O emissions from peat decomposition and N fertilization in an oil palm plantation exacerbated by hotspots
Organic soils are defined in Chapter 3 Annex 3A.5 of Volume 4 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and Section 5, Chapter 1, section 5 of this Wetlands Supplement. The guidance in this Chapter applies to all inland organic soils
that have been drained, i.e., drainage of lands that started in the past and...

Drained Inland Organic Soils
Tropical peat swamp forests, which are predominantly located in Southeast Asia (SEA) and play a prominent role as a global carbon store, are being intensively degraded and converted to agricultural lands and tree plantations. For national inventories, updated estimates of peat emissions of greenh...

Greenhouse gas emission factors for land use and land-use change in Southeast Asian peatlands
Tropical peatlands in the Peruvian Amazon exhibit high densities of Mauritia flexuosa palms, which are often cut instead of being climbed for collecting their fruits. This is an important type of forest degradation in the region that could lead to changes in the structure and composition of the f...

Greenhouse gas emissions along a peat swamp forest degradation gradient in the Peruvian Amazon: soil moisture and palm roots effects
Peru has the fourth largest area of peatlands in the Tropics. Its most representative land cover on peat is a Mauritia flexuosa dominated palm swamp (thereafter called dense PS), which has been under human pressure over decades due to the high demand for the M. flexuosa fruit often collected by c...
