Application of ammonium sulfate affects greenhouse gases and microbial diversity of an oil palm plantation on tropical peat

Sharon Yu Ling Lau et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of nitrogen fertilizer application on the properties of tropical peat soil, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil microbial diversity. The results showed that nitrogen fertilizer application slightly decreased soil pH and organic matter content, but increased nitrate and ammonium concentrations, as well as methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Additionally, it led to a decrease in soil bacterial diversity and an increase in soil fungal diversity.

Major carbon losses from degradation of Mauritia flexuosa peat swamp forests in western Amazonia

Kristell Hergoualc'h et al.

Summary: Tropical peat swamp forests in Peruvian Amazonia, particularly palm swamps, are at risk of degradation which can lead to the transformation of carbon sinks into carbon sources. This study estimated carbon emissions from degraded palm swamps and found that as degradation increases, the capacity of these swamps to sequester carbon decreases and they become high carbon sources. Therefore, sustainable management of these peatlands is crucial.

Recent intensification of wetland methane feedback

Zhen Zhang et al.

Summary: Atmospheric methane concentrations are increasing, and recent studies using a process-based model show higher methane emissions from wetlands since 2007. The substantial increase in methane emissions in 2020 and 2021 contributed to record-high growth rates of atmospheric methane. Wetland methane emissions, as an uncertain feedback to climate change, amplify atmospheric methane concentrations. The findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring and observations of global wetland methane fluxes to understand emerging trends, variability, and underlying drivers.

Global temperature goals should determine the time horizons for greenhouse gas emission metrics

Sam Abernethy et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel framework to calculate time horizons aligning with specific temperature goals and presents emission metrics for methane using these time horizons. The commonly used time horizon of 100 years underestimates the environmental impact of methane compared to the values calculated for the Paris Agreement goals of 1.5 degrees C and 2 degrees C.

Measuring and modelling microclimatic air temperature in a historically degraded tropical forest

Christopher D. Marsh et al.

Summary: The research indicates that forest structure and solar radiation have significant impacts on microclimatic air temperature within the forest canopy, with forest degradation leading to higher temperatures. This may result in some forest-dwelling species being unable to adapt to degraded tropical forests in the face of future climate change.

Interactions between microtopography, root exudate analogues and temperature determine CO2 and CH4 production rates in fire-degraded tropical peat

Hasan Akhtar et al.

Summary: Fires in tropical peatlands can alter the landscape and increase the risk of flooding. This study explores how changes in microtopography, labile C inputs, and temperature affect greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) production. Results show that mesic conditions promote CO2 production, while anoxic conditions promote CH4 production.

Tropical peatlands and their contribution to the global carbon cycle and climate change

Kelly Ribeiro et al.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of tropical peatlands, highlighting their biophysical characteristics, distribution, carbon stock, role in the global climate, and the impacts of human disturbances on carbon accumulation rates and greenhouse gas emissions. Despite being a significant carbon sink, tropical peatlands are still under-researched, with gaps in knowledge regarding their distribution, depth, carbon stock, and fluxes.

Markus Anda et al.

Summary: A detailed spatial inventory of tropical peatlands in Indonesia was conducted using a standard method protocol from 2013 to 2019, providing the first systematic census of peatlands in Indonesia. Peat depth was classified into six categories, with exceptionally deep peatlands mainly found on Kalimantan and Sumatera Islands.

Dataset on soil carbon dioxide fluxes from an incubation with tropical peat from three different land-uses in Jambi Sumatra Indonesia

Louis-Pierre Comeau et al.

Summary: Conversion of tropical peat swamp forests to increase agricultural production has resulted in substantial peat carbon loss in the Asia-Pacific region. Different land-uses and management practices oxidize tropical peat at diverse rates mainly due to varying water table levels. Studies have shown that the effect of moisture on carbon dioxide fluxes in incubation experiments varies among different land-uses.

Spatio-Temporal Variability of Peat CH4 and N2O Fluxes and Their Contribution to Peat GHG Budgets in Indonesian Forests and Oil Palm Plantations

Erin Swails et al.

Summary: Land-use change in tropical peatlands significantly affects methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, with oil palm plantations having a much higher GHG budget compared to peat swamp forests. Water table level and soil water-filled pore space were identified as key drivers of CH4 and N2O flux variation. Forest degradation and conversion to oil palm resulted in a disastrous atmospheric impact.

Conservation slows down emission increase from a tropical peatland in Indonesia

Chandra S. Deshmukh et al.

Summary: Measurements at two contrasting sites in a coastal peatland in Sumatra, Indonesia showed that greenhouse-gas emissions from intact peatland increased substantially due to extreme drought, with emissions at the degraded site being twice that of the intact site. Protecting intact tropical peatlands from degradation can offer important climate benefits, reducing greenhouse-gas emissions significantly.

Satellite Constraints on the Latitudinal Distribution and Temperature Sensitivity of Wetland Methane Emissions

Shuang Ma et al.

Summary: Wetland methane emissions account for about one-third of global methane sources, with differences between bottom-up and top-down estimates. Using satellite data to test and refine bottom-up models, the study estimates global wetland methane emissions and finds significant contributions from tropical wetlands, as well as lower-than-expected temperature sensitivity.
