Decomposition and nutrient mineralisation of leaf litter in smallholder cocoa agroforests: a comparison of organic and conventional farms in Ghana (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Purpose: Although litter decomposition and nutrient release patterns have been studied in cocoa agroforestry systems in general, studies focusing on organic and conventional cocoa systems are lacking which is critical as organi...

Expert assessment of future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. The carbon balance of peatlands is predicted to shift from a sink to a source this century. However, peatland ecosystems are still omitted from the main Earth system models th... Read More about Expert assessment of future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink.

Short-term impacts of different tillage practices and plant residue retention on soil physical properties and greenhouse gas emissions (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Reducing tillage intensity and plant residue retention have the potential to mitigate climate change by reducing soil greenhouse gas emissions. Few comparative studies have explored the effects of different tillage practices and... Read More about Short-term impacts of different tillage practices and plant residue retention on soil physical properties and greenhouse gas emissions.

Is Intercropping an Environmentally-Wise Alternative to Established Oil Palm Monoculture in Tropical Peatlands? (2020)
Journal Article

Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia are important ecosystems that play a crucial role in global biogeochemical cycles, with a potential for strong climate feedback loops. The degradation of tropical peatlands due to the expansion of oil palm plantat...

Peat Properties, Dominant Vegetation Type and Microbial Community Structure in a Tropical Peatland (2020)
Journal Article

Tropical peatlands are an important carbon store and source of greenhouse gases, but the microbial component, particularly community structure, remains poorly understood. While microbial communities vary between tropical peatland land uses, and with... Read More about Peat Properties, Dominant Vegetation Type and Microbial Community Structure in a Tropical Peatland.

Author Correction: Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from conversion of peat swamp forest to oil palm plantation (Nature Communications, (2020), 11, 1, (407), 10.1038/s41467-020-14298-w) (2020)
Journal Article

The original version of this article contained an error in Fig. 2a, in which additional tick marks were added to the y-axis. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the article.

Root oxygen mitigates methane fluxes in tropical peatlands (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Author(s). Published by IOP Publishing Ltd. Tropical peatlands are a globally important source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Vegetation is critical in regulating fluxes, providing a conduit for emissions and regular carbon inputs. H... Read More about Root oxygen mitigates methane fluxes in tropical peatlands.

Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from conversion of peat swamp forest to oil palm plantation (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Conversion of tropical peat swamp forest to drainage-based agriculture alters greenhouse gas (GHG) production, but the magnitude of these changes remains highly uncertain. Current emissions factors for oil palm grown on drained... Read More about Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from conversion of peat swamp forest to oil palm plantation.
