TL;DR: Overall, the uptake of carbon into Earth’s intact tropical forests peaked in the 1990s and independent observations indicating greater recent carbon uptake into the Northern Hemisphere landmass reinforce the conclusion that the intact tropical forest carbon sink has already peaked.

TL;DR: The annual export of fluvial organic carbon from both intact peat swamp forest and peat Swamp forest subject to past anthropogenic disturbance is quantified to improve estimates of the impact of deforestation and drainage on tropical peatland carbon balances.

TL;DR: It is shown that tree stems emit substantially more methane than peat surfaces, accounting for 62-87% of total ecosystem methane flux, and the need to integrate this emission pathway in both field studies and models if wetland methane fluxes are to be characterized accurately in global methane budgets is highlighted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed from the source to the mouth of the River Sebangau in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia during the dry and wet seasons in 2008/2009 and estimated an annual total organic carbon (TOC) flux estimated.

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.
