| Description: |
Is converting intact peat swamp forest into oil palm plantation accelerating the rate at which peat decomposes? Is transforming intact peat swamp forest into oil palm plantation increasing heterotrophic carbon dioxide emissions? PhD student Louis-Pierre Comeau presents his findings in answer to these questions after studying soil plots in intact peat swamp forest, logged forest and 7-year-old oil palm plantation. He gave this presentation on 26 September 2012 at CIFOR’s Annual Meeting. |
