    Effect of compaction on soil CO2 and CH4 fluxes from tropical peatland in Sarawak, Malaysia

    Tropical peatland stores a large amount of carbon (C) and is an important C sink. In Malaysia, about 25% of the peatland area has been converted to oil palm plantation where drainage, compaction and groundwater table control are prerequisite. To date, relationship between land compaction and C emission from tropical peatland is scarcely studied. To understand the effect of compaction on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) flux from tropical peatland, a laboratory soil column incubation was conducted.
