Translocation of tropical peat surface to deeper soil horizons under compaction controls carbon emissions in the absence of groundwater
Compaction is recognized as an effective method for mitigating the risk of fires by enhancing soil moisture levels. This technique involves restricting peat pore spaces through compaction, facilitating improved capillary action for water retention and rehydration. The compaction of tropical peatland...
