CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Methane and nitrous oxide fluxes from peatlands undergoing land-use change in Jambi, Sumatra

Exporter la citation

Tropical peatlands occupy 8% of the global peatland area and are recognised as a significant carbon store; holding a carbon pool of 50 Gt. Peat forms when inundation of water prevents the aerobic decomposition of plant materials, which accumulate and form peat. Traditionally these areas have been difficult to farm and are sparsely populated so have become economically attractive for agronomical purposes. This study investigated the implications of the peatland conversion process with respect to two greenhouse gases that have received less attention than carbon dioxide; nitrous oxide and methane. An 18 month study measured nitrous oxide and methane fluxes using the closed static chamber method from three sites representative of the land use change process occurring in Indonesia. These sites were a mixed peat swamp forest, a drained and logged forest and an industrial oil palm. Nitrous oxide and methane fluxes from the peat swamp forest were divided into hummocks and hollows, from the oil palm divided into the fertilized and unfertilized zone.
