Abstract:
The visual uniformity of tropical peat swamp forest masks the considerable variation in forest structure that has evolved in response to differences and changes in peat characteristics over many millennia. Details are presented of forest structure and tree composition of the principal peat swamp forest types in the upper catchment of Sungai Sebangau, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, in relation to thickness and hydrology of the peat. Consideration is given to data on peat geochemistry and age of peat that provide evidence of the ombrotrophic nature of this vast peatland and its mode of formation. The future sustainability of this ecosystem is predicted from information available on climate change and human impact in this region.

Abstract:
Above- and below-ground morphology of seedlings (up to 98 cm in height) were compared by allometric analyses in tropical heath forest and peat-swamp forest in Central Kalimantan. Thirteen abundant species were selected, including two species found in both forests. In above-ground morphology, heath forest seedlings invested more in leaf mass, while peat-swamp forest seedlings invested more in stem mass, stem height, crown area and leaf area. In below-ground morphology, heath forest seedlings invested more in root mass and depth, while peat-swamp forest seedlings invested more in lateral development of the root system. Both specific leaf area and area per leaf of heath forest seedlings were lower than those of peat-swamp forest seedlings. This differentiation in seedling morphology between forest types was evident as a plastic response in the two shared species. Heath forest seedlings on coarse-textured bleached sand with low water retention suffer occasional drought whereas peat-swamp forest seedlings on waterlogged peat rarely experience drought. We concluded that seasonal water limitation brought about the convergence in seedling morphology within heath forest because average understorey irradiances and soil nutrient concentration were assumed to be similarly low in both forests.

Abstract:
Degraded and drained peat swamp forests (PSFs) are major sources of carbon emissions in the forestry sector. Rewetting interventions aim to reduce carbon loss and to enhance the carbon stock. However, studies of rewetting interventions in tropical PSFs are still limited. This study examined the effect of rewetting interventions on carbon dynamics at a rewetted site and an undrained site. We measured aboveground carbon (AGC), belowground carbon (BGC), litterfall, heterotrophic components of soil respiration (Rh), methane emissions (CH4), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration at both sites. We found that the total carbon stock at the rewetted site was slightly lower than at the undrained site (1886.73 ± 87.69 and 2106.23 ± 214.33 Mg C ha−1, respectively). The soil organic carbon (SOC) was 1685 ± 61 Mg C ha−1 and 1912 ± 190 Mg C ha−1 at the rewetted and undrained sites, respectively, and the carbon from litterfall was 4.68 ± 0.30 and 3.92 ± 0.34 Mg C ha−1 year−1, respectively. The annual average Rh was 4.06 ± 0.02 Mg C ha−1 year−1 at the rewetted site and was 3.96 ± 0.16 Mg C ha−1 year−1 at the undrained site. In contrast, the annual average CH4 emissions were −0.0015 ± 0.00 Mg C ha−1 year−1 at the rewetted site and 0.056 ± 0.000 Mg C ha−1 year−1 at the undrained site. In the rewetted condition, carbon from litter may become stable over a longer period. Consequently, carbon loss and gain mainly depend on the magnitude of peat decomposition (Rh) and CH4 emissions.

Abstract:
The Indonesian archipelago, Borneo, Sumatra and West New Guinea (Papua), hosts half of the world’s known tropical peat swamps, which support a significant proportion of the estimated biodiversity on Earth. However, several species groups that inhabit peat swamp environments remain poorly characterised and their biology, particularly during early life stages, is not well understood. In the present study we characterised larval and juvenile fish biodiversity, as well as spatial and temporal variability, in a pristine peat swamp environment of the River Kumbe in West New Guinea, Indonesia, based on analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequence (501bp). Altogether, 10 fish species were detected in the peat swamp habitat during the larval and juvenile stages, whereas 13 additional species were caught at older stages. Twelve species were detected only in a single site, whereas some species, such as the Western archerfish (Toxotes oligolepis) and Lorentz’s grunter (Pingalla lorentzi), were observed in all sampling sites. The occurrence of fish larvae also varied temporally for several species. In contrast with many earlier DNA barcoding studies in fish, we were not able to determine the species identity for a large proportion of sequenced larvae (68%) because of the lack of corresponding COI sequences in the reference dataset. Unidentified sequences clustered into five separate monophyletic clades. Based on genetic divergences, the putative taxonomic origin for the five morphotypes are Atherinidae, Osteoglossidae, Terapontidae and Gobiidae.

Abstract:
Satellite radar imaging is a promising technique for biomass mapping and the monitoring of deforestation in tropical forests and reducing the uncertainty in the quantification of forest biomass in tropical regions. The present paradigm in radar imaging is the fitting of empirical relationships between the radar signal and biomass for diverse forest ecosystems, especially in the humid tropics. Therefore, there is a great need to generate knowledge about how to monitor and characterise the biomass of intact and disturbed tropical forest biomass. This research presents the analysis of data from four years of L-band radar imagery from ALOS PALSAR within a carbon dense, tropical peat swamp forest ecosystem in Central Kalimantan (Indonesia). The results showed that the temporal behaviour of the radar signal varied across a gradient of forest biomass, being highly variable at low biomass levels. Critically a large amount of signal change was unrelated to biomass change. Changes in the radar signal were related in a complex non-linear manner to changes in the peatland water table. This allowed, for the first time, the estimation of water table depth at high spatial resolutions from radar images. It was found that the radar signal related to loss of primary forest biomass after fire were in the opposite direction to that expected according to fitted radarbiomass equations. Burnt areas showed highly variable temporal radar with variability linked to rainfall indicating a possible interaction between the water table and remaining (dead) aboveground biomass. The implications of these results are that, at least in tropical peatlands, estimates of biomass based on single date radar images are likely to be highly misleading; multitemporal radar data sets are required to both interpret disturbance histories and to produce accurate classifications of above ground biomass.

Full text
Abstract:
Investigations into the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on greenhouse gas emissions from tropical peatlands are relatively well documented. However, the effects of such disturbance on fluvial carbon (C) losses has, thus far, been overlooked and remains unaccounted for in these ecosystem C budgets. Here, three land-cover classes in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, were investigated in order to determine the effect of tropical peatland disturbance on fluvial organic C budgets. Intact peat swamp forest (IPSF), moderately disturbed and severely disturbed peat swamp forest (DPSF1 and 2) catchments were monitored for one year. Results demonstrate a trend of increasing annual total organic carbon (TOC) yields with increasing drainage severity, from 63 in IPSF to 105 and 131 g C m-2 y(1 in DPSF1 and 2, respectively. Including this routinely-ignored fluvial C loss component in the disturbed peatland ecosystem C budget increases the estimated total C loss by 30%. Radiocarbon analysis of dissolved organiC carbon (DOC) reveals that whilst DOC leaching from IPSF was derived from recent primary production, DOC leaching from the two disturbed sites was comprised of much older C, originating from deep within the peat column. The TOC flux from the Sebangau River basin was estimated to be 0.46 teragrams y(1, which upon regional extrapolation indicates that Indonesian rivers account for 10% of the global annual riverine DOC export to the ocean. There were no significant differences between sites in the quality of the organic C lost, but DOC lost from disturbed sites was generally less aromatic than from the intact site. It is recognized that a large portion of this labile C will be emitted to the atmosphere via biotic decomposition. Since 1990, peatland disturbance has resulted in a 53% increase in fluvial organic C export from Southeast Asia, an increase that alone approximates the entire annual fluvial organic C flux from European peatlands.

Abstract:
Between 1985 and 2006 about 47% of tropical peat swamp forest (TPSF), mainly found in SE Asia, became degraded through logging, drainage, fire and agriculture. In response to global agendas, several large-scale TPSF restoration projects have been initiated, although knowledge is limited and successful, transferable methods are yet to be established. Restoration ecology is an inter-disciplinary science encompassing ecology, sociology, economics and politics, but methodology to integrate these disciplines is lacking. This study explored the social and ecological factors affecting the regeneration of a degraded TPSF in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. An ecological investigation revealed that seed rain, animal-dispersal, flooding, increased light levels and lowered soil nutrient and mycorrhizae levels had become forest regeneration barriers, whilst seed banks, drought and competition with invasive species had not. In the adjacent village, focus groups and interviews revealed other factors influencing forest regeneration; the community’s lack of livelihood options, their dependency on the forest, the lack of funding for restoration and their dislike of ‘outsiders’. Not all factors were negative however; the community’s ecological knowledge, and their attitude towards restoration were positive. Social and ecological data were equally important in understanding the factors influencing the landscape. Furthermore, the data were closely linked and were often combined to better explain each factor. This study therefore proposes a new methodology for integrating these two disciplines within restoration ecology: the factors influencing the landscape are investigated through a process (using social and ecological methods) described as ‘anticipation and engagement’. Social and ecological data are then combined to explain the factors using the categorizations: ‘negative’, ‘potential negative’, ‘in-active’, ‘positive’, and ‘compound’. This methodology then facilitates development of a site-specific restoration action plan. The broader implications of this methodology, the interlinking of social and ecological data, the transferability of methods, and the restoration of Indonesian TPSF are discussed.

Abstract:
Tropical forests have existed for up to one hundred million years, and today provide many ecosystem services vital for human well-being. They also harbour great biodiversity, which, in addition to its intrinsic value, plays a key role in the functioning of these ecosystems. Despite their local to global significance, there are still many knowledge gaps concerning the dynamic processes that govern the functioning of tropical forests. Rapid rates of deforestation and landscape conversion, predominantly for logging and industrial agriculture, are limiting the time and opportunity available to collect the information needed to fill these gaps. This research aims to shed light on the long-term ecological functioning of tropical forests, specifically investigating the history of disturbance in these ecosystems and the response of forest vegetation to past perturbations. The carbon-rich tropical peat swamp forests found along the coast of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, are a central focus of this study. For these forests in particular, a large deficit of knowledge surrounding their history and unique ecological functioning is coupled with some of the highest conversion rates of all tropical forest ecosystems across the world. In this thesis, palaeoecological data has been used to reconstruct temporal variability in forest vegetation coincident with external perturbations in order to identify changes in the resilience of these ecosystems through time, via indicators such as slowing rates of recovery and reduced regeneration of forest vegetation. Results suggest that tropical forest ecosystems have, for the most part, shown resilience to natural disturbances in the past, ranging from instantaneous localised tree-fall to longer-term regional climatic change; but that recent anthropogenic disturbances, of novel forms and greater intensities, are jeopardizing the potential for forest recovery and thus compromising ecosystem resilience. These findings enhance our understanding of the ecology of tropical peat swamp forests, and tropical forests more broadly. They also provide a context for contemporary tropical forest management, allowing for predictions on future responses to disturbance and enabling more ecologically sustainable landscape planning.

Abstract:
Rapid growth of Malaysia’s economy recently is often associated with various environmental disturbances, which have been contributing to depletion of forest resources and thus climate change. The need for more spaces for numerous land developments has made the existing forests suffer from deforestation. This chapter presents an overview and demonstrates how remote sensing data is used to map and quantify changes of tropical forests in Malaysia. The analysis dealt with image processing that produce seamless mosaics of optical satellite data over Malaysia, within 15 years period, with 5-year intervals. The challenges were about the production of cloud-free images over a tropical country that always covered by clouds. These datasets were used to identify eligible areas for carbon offset in land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector in Malaysia. Altogether 580 scenes of Landsat imagery were processed to complete the observation period and came out with a seamless, wall to wall images over Malaysia from year 2005 to 2020. Forests have been identified from the image classification and then classified into three major types, which are dry-inland forest, peat swamp and mangroves. Post-classification change detection technique was used to determine areas that have been undergoing conversions from forests to other land uses. Forest areas were found to have declined from about 19.3 Mil. ha (in 2005) to 18.2 Mil. ha in year 2020. Causes of deforestation have been identified and the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that has been emitted due to the deforestation activity has been determined in this study. The total deforested area between years 2005 and 2020 was at 1,087,030 ha with rate of deforestation of about 72,469 ha yr.−1 (or 0.37% yr.−1). This has contributed to the total CO2 emission of 689.26 Mil. Mg CO2, with an annual rate of 45.95 Mil. Mg CO2 yr.−1. The study found that the use of a series satellite images from optical sensors are the most appropriate sensors to be used for monitoring of deforestation over the Malaysia region, although cloud covers are the major issue for optical imagery datasets.
