Age, extent and carbon storage of the central Congo Basin peatland complex
TLDR
Radiocarbon dates indicate that peat began accumulating from about 10,600 years ago, coincident with the onset of more humid conditions in central Africa at the beginning of the Holocene, making the Cuvette Centrale depression in the central Congo Basin the most extensive peatland complex in the tropics.
The distribution and amount of carbon in the largest peatland complex in Amazonia
Peatlands in Amazonian Peru are known to store large quantities of carbon, but there is high uncertainty in the spatial extent and total carbon stocks of these ecosystems. Here, we use a multi-sensor…
Digital mapping of peatlands – A critical review
Tropical Peatland of the World
In the tropics peat occurs mostly in sub-coastal lowlands and is formed from rainforest trees and associated higher plants. There are regional differences in the plant species involved and there are…
Remotely sensing the ecological influences of ditches in Zoige Peatland, eastern Tibetan Plateau
Zoige Peatland in the eastern Tibetan Plateau, the largest alpine peatland in China, was widely ditched in 1970s for pasture expansion. The ditching is believed to have caused peatland degradation,…
Keep wetlands wet: the myth of sustainable development of tropical peatlands – implications for policies and management
TLDR
The ecology behind the functioning and ecosystem services provided by PSFs, with a particular focus on hydrological processes as well as the role of the forest itself in maintaining those services is reviewed, including the suitability of current policy frameworks and the efficacy of their implementation.

Peatland degradation: The relationship between raised bog hydrology and normalized difference vegetation index
Peatlands are recognized as important landscape elements and their disturbance, followed by the loss of their ecohydrological functions, leads to falling water tables and degradation. Sometimes, the…
Global and regional importance of the tropical peatland carbon pool
Accurate inventory of tropical peatland is important in order to (a) determine the magnitude of the carbon pool; (b) estimate the scale of transfers of peat‐derived greenhouse gases to the atmosphere…
Spatial and Temporal Trends of Burnt Area in Angola: Implications for Natural Vegetation and Protected Area Management
Fire is a key driver of natural ecosystems in Africa. However, human activity and climate change have altered fire frequency and severity, with negative consequences for biodiversity conservation.…
