Peatlands are important carbon sinks, therefore their degradation mainly due to lowering of
the water table, has an adverse effect to the carbon cycle and largely burden the …

Tropical peatlands of SE-Asia represent a significant terrestrial carbon reservoir of an
estimated 65 Gt C. In this paper we present a comprehensive data synthesis of radiocarbon …

Peatlands have been recognised as globally important carbon sinks over long timescales
that produced a global, net-climatic cooling effect over the Holocene. However, little is …

In response to a strong El Niño, fires in Indonesia during September and October 2015
released a large amount of carbon dioxide and created a massive regional smoke cloud that …

Southeast Asian peatlands, along with their various important ecosystem services, are
mainly distributed in the coastal areas of Sumatra and Borneo. These ecosystems are …

Fire events in tropical peatlands often relate to dry peat conditions associated with climate
variability (drought) and anthropogenic-driven ecosystem degradation. However, drought is …

Abstract Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia (SEA) have undergone large-scale
degradation in recent times due to extensive land use changes and drainage associated …

Despite their importance as global carbon sinks, peatlands of Southeast Asia have been
rarely studied and our current knowledge of the dynamics and ecology of these ecosystems …

Wildfires are a major concern in Mediterranean areas and play an important role in the
pedogenic process, as they usually increase soil credibility due to the destruction of …

Forest fires are a major concern in Mediterranean areas, where factors such as slope and
aspect determine the degree of water and nutrient retention and their availability in soil. In …
