CH₄ and N₂ O emissions from smallholder agricultural systems on tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia.

ABSTRACT: There are limited data for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from smallholder agricultural systems in tropical peatlands, with data for non-CO₂ emissions from human-influenced tropical peatlands particularly scarce. The aim of this study was to quantify soil CH₄ and N₂ O fluxes from smallholder agricultural systems on tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia and assess their environmental controls. The study was carried out in four regions in Malaysia and Indonesia. CH₄ and N₂ O fluxes and environmental parameters were measured in cropland, oil palm plantation, tree plantation and forest. Annual CH₄ emissions (in kg CH₄ ha^-1  year^-1 ) were: 70.7 ± 29.5, 2.1 ± 1.2, 2.1 ± 0.6 and 6.2 ± 1.9 at the fore
