Journal Article
Girkin, N. T., Dhandapani, S., Evers, S., Ostle, N., Turner, B. L., & Sjӧgersten, S. (2020). Interactions between labile carbon, temperature and land use regulate carbon dioxide and methane production in tropical peat. Biogeochemistry, 147(1), 87-97. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-019-00632-y

Tropical peatlands are a significant carbon store and contribute to global carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions. Tropical peatlands are threatened by both land use and climate change, including the alteration of regional precipitation pat...

From peat swamp forest to oil palm plantations: The stability of tropical peatland carbon (2019)
Journal Article
Cooper, H. V., Vane, C. H., Evers, S., Aplin, P., Girkin, N. T., & Sjögersten, S. (2019). From peat swamp forest to oil palm plantations: The stability of tropical peatland carbon. Geoderma, 342, 109-117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2019.02.021

Accurate assessment of tropical peatland carbon dynamics is important to (a) determine the size of the active carbon pool, (b) estimate the scale of transfers of peat-derived greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere resulting from land use change, a...
