Recovery and resilience of tropical forests after disturbance

TL;DR: Results indicate that forests in Central America and Africa generally recover faster from past disturbances than those in South America and Asia, as do forests exposed to natural large infrequent disturbances compared with post-climatic and human impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expert assessment of future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define and quantify the leading drivers of change that have impacted peatland carbon stocks during the Holocene and predict their effect during this century and in the far future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Denial of long-term issues with agriculture on tropical peatlands will have devastating consequences

TL;DR: The first International Peat Congress (IPC) held in the tropics - in Kuching (Malaysia) - brought together over 1000 international peatland scientists and industrial partners from across the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long‐term disturbance dynamics and resilience of tropical peat swamp forests

TL;DR: In this article, long-term ecological data sets from three degraded peatlands in Sarawak were collected to shed light on peat swamp forest dynamics, providing baseline information on the past vegetation and its response to disturbance.
