Abstract Tropical peatlands are currently being rapidly cleared and drained for the establishment of oil palm plantations, which threatens their globally significant carbon sequestration capacity. Large-scale land conversion of tropical peatlands... Read More about High heterotrophic CO2 emissions from a Malaysian oil palm plantations during dry-season.

Root exudate analogues accelerate CO2 and CH4 production in tropical peat (2017)

Root exudates represent a large and labile carbon input in tropical peatlands, but their contribution to carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) production remains poorly understood. Changes in species composition and productivity of peatland plant co... Read More about Root exudate analogues accelerate CO2 and CH4 production in tropical peat.
