Abstract

tropical agro-ecology tropical peatlands greenhouse gas emissions peat fire riparian buffers understorey vegetation sustainable agriculture land-use change
Southeast Asia is home to one of the oldest and most consistent rainforests in the world, with high endemic biodiversity and carbon storage, and the largest cover of carbon-rich tropical peat swamp forests (Yule, 2010; Xu et al., 2018). However, these tropical forests are becoming increasingly disturbed by anthropogenic land-use changes, particularly the expansion of oil palm agriculture (Miettinen et al., 2016; Dhandapani et al., 2023).
