Peatlands

Peatlands

Peatlands are huge carbon reservoirs, storing approximately 30% of the global ecosystems carbon stocks. However, research has predominantly focused on temperate regions, leaving tropical peatlands underrepresented in scientific studies.

.

To address this gap, we conduct ecosystem-scale monitoring in tropical peatlands, employing eddy covariance towers, chamber-based measurements, and hydrological monitoring.

.

This comprehensive approach enhances our understanding of peatland carbon dynamics, improves the quantification of greenhouse gas fluxes, and supports climate change mitigation.
