Potential of APSIS-InSAR for measuring surface oscillations of tropical peatlands (2024)
Journal Article
Ledger, M. J., Sowter, A., Morrison, K., Evans, C. D., Large, D. J., Athab, A., …Sjögersten, S. (2024). Potential of APSIS-InSAR for measuring surface oscillations of tropical peatlands. PLoS ONE, 19(2), Article e0298939. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0298939

Tropical peatland across Southeast Asia is drained extensively for production of pulpwood, palm oil and other food crops. Associated increases in peat decomposition have led to widespread subsidence, deterioration of peat condition and CO2 emissions....

Tropical peat surface oscillations are a function of peat condition at North Selangor peat swamp forest, Malaysia (2023)
Journal Article
Ledger, M. J., Evans, C. D., Large, D. J., Evers, S., Brown, C., Jovani-Sancho, A. J., …Sjögersten, S. (2023). Tropical peat surface oscillations are a function of peat condition at North Selangor peat swamp forest, Malaysia. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 11, Article 1182100. https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2023.1182100

Tropical peatland condition across southeast Asia is deteriorating as a result of conversion to agriculture and urban zones. Conversion begins by lowering the water table, which leads to peat decomposition, subsidence and increased risk of large-scal...

Detecting tropical peatland degradation: Combining remote sensing and organic geochemistry (2023)
Journal Article
Brown, C., Boyd, D. S., Sjögersten, S., & Vane, C. H. (2023). Detecting tropical peatland degradation: Combining remote sensing and organic geochemistry. PLoS ONE, 18(3), Article e0280187. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0280187

Tropical peatlands are important carbon stores that are vulnerable to drainage and conversion to agriculture. Protection and restoration of peatlands are increasingly recognised as key nature based solutions that can be implemented as part of climate...

Understanding the co?occurrence of tree loss and modern slavery to improve efficacy of conservation actions and policies (2020)
Journal Article
Jackson, B., Decker Sparks, J. L., Brown, C., & Boyd, D. S. (2020). Understanding the co?occurrence of tree loss and modern slavery to improve efficacy of conservation actions and policies. Conservation Science and Practice, 2(5), https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.183

Locations where populations are most reliant on forests and their ecosystem services for subsistence and development are also areas where modern slavery persists. These issues are noted within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), both target 15....
