Introducing global peat-specific temperature and pH calibrations based on brGDGT bacterial lipids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the distribution of brGDGTs in 470 samples from 96 peatlands around the world with a broad mean annual air temperature (−8 to 27 °C) and pH (3-8) range and present the first peat-specific brGGT-based temperature and pH calibrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Lahiru S. Wijedasa, +150 more
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 Article

Physical and chemical properties of tropical peat under stabilised land uses.

TL;DR: In this article, the physical and chemical properties of peat from four land management conditions (undrained and drained forest, degraded land, and managed agricultural land) were studied, and the differences between land uses in the characteristics of surface peat down to the 40-45 cm layer were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deforested and drained tropical peatland sites show poorer peat substrate quality and lower microbial biomass and activity than unmanaged swamp forest

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of land-use change on peat as a biological environment, which directly affects decomposition dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions, were studied in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Land use increases the recalcitrance of tropical peat

TL;DR: In this paper, the carbon compound composition (CCC) of tropical peat was studied in the context of land use change in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, by collecting peat samples from an undrained forest and three sites altered 20-30 years prior to the study, which in aggregate form a continuum of increasing land-use intensity.
