Training module on  Palm Oil and Peat Developed by  Marcel Silvius
This training module on tropical peatlands and palm oil was developed by Wetlands International at the request of ProForest.  Most material in this presentation is under copyright of Wetlands International

What are peatlands? Peatlands are wetlands where waterlogging delays  decay,  and dead plant materials form an organic soil: peat soil
Mineral Soil River  River   < 1m > 3m Peat swamp forest Organic matter Most of the peatlands are located in the lowlands in the extensive floodplains between rivers of Sumatra, Kalimantan and Papua ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The peat bog is rain water fed
Peatlands represent a key part of global biodiversity As a result of different climatic and biogeographic conditions, a large diversity of peatland types exists in the world, including the tropical peat swamp forests of South-east Asia (middle picture)
Peatlands around the world ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Peat accumulates for thousands of years  storing concentrated Carbon in thick layers Peat from 2 meters depth Most peatlands in lowlands of South-east Asia are about 5000 years old. Some can reach over 20m depth
Peatlands are 90% water ,[object Object],[object Object]

Peatlands and carbon ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Peatlands store large amounts of carbon Peatland degradation leads to CO 2  emissions which contribute to  global warming

Notas do Editor

  1. This picture shows the location of a peat dome in the flood plain in between two lowland rivers. A substantial part of the peat dome is located above river water surface. These forms of peatlands are called bogs, they are oligotrophic (poor in nutrients) and rain water fed. The peat lies like a gigantic drop a water on the lowland plain, held together by the dead organic material and protected by a blanket of living forest that maintains a humid micro-climate and prevents direct solar impact.
  2. Nepenthes grows in soils with N deficiencies. It compensates this by capturing insects in its cup-shaped leaves. Many indigenous peat swamp forest plants and trees can survive long-inundation. They can form floating islands, such as the Pandanus, or have aerial roots or pneumatophores, that help them to breath.
  3. NTFP: non timber forest product
  4. First click: Some relatively minor emissions are derived from peatlands in arctic and sub-arctic zones Second click: More substantial emissions are derived from peatlands in the temperate zones and tropical zones of the Americas Third click: The most substantial emissions, covering over 70% of global peat-based emissions are from SE Asia.
  5. Most concentrated land-use related CO2 emissions in the world Greater
  6. As tropical peat swamp forests are multi-functional areas, their degradation leads to multiple integrated impacts
  7. The NASA satellite picture of October 1997 shows the enormous extent of the smog which was derived mainly from peat fires. The pictures from Malaysia shows that also in non El Nino years smog from Indonesian peat fires can cause significant impact across the Straits. This has caused political fall-out between Indonesia and its neighboring states, especially Malaysia, Singapore
  8. Melling’s study is often used to claim that peat swamp forests would emit more CO2 than palm oil plantations. The study did, however, not measure the ecosystem carbon balance but only the soil emissions without distinguishing between CO2 emissions from peat oxidation and CO2 emissions from root respiration. It is logical that the latter will significantly impact on results. If peat swamp forest would indeed lead to a net higher CO2 emission, peat could never have been formed. The proof is in the peat.
  9. Water management should be optimised to ensure the highest possible water levels are maintained. Whereas optimised water levels may have some impact on palm oil productivity, it will benefit long-term sustainability of the plantation, decreasing risks of enhanced flooding through peat soil subsidence. A optimal balance needs to be found between short-term productivity and long-term sustainability.
  10. Ensure adequate fire prevention and fire control measures are taken, including established awareness and capacity in local communities, plantation staff and local authorities.
  11. Joint management of conservation areas near or adjacent to palm oil plantations can create opportunity for biodiversity off sets through enhance biodiversity conservation linked to the management capacity provided by the palm oil plantation, in terms of hydrological management, fire control, patrol against illegal logging and poaching and development of infrastructure. This can be of mutual benefit through improved security, as well as derived carbon credits.
