Hydrology of a Tropical Peatland
Abstract
The hydrology of tropical peat forests is tied closely to decomposition processes in the soil and thus to the role of these forests as sinks of atmospheric carbon. We present results from an ongoing study on the hydrology and carbon cycle of a tropical peat forest in Brunei Darussalam. Data from rain gauges and well piezometers are combined with meteorological data for a preliminary hydrological balance.
