Abstract

With the increasing use of tropical peatland for agricultural development, documentation of the rate of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions is becoming important for national greenhouse gas inventories. The objective of this study was to evaluate soil-surface CO 2 fluxes from drained peat under different land-use systems in Riau and Jambi Provinces, Sumatra, Indonesia. Increase of CO 2 concentration was tracked in measurement chambers using an Infrared Gas Analyzer (IRGA, LI-COR 820 model). The results showed that CO 2 flux under oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations ranged from 34 ± 16 and 45 ± 25 Mg CO 2 ha –1 year –1 in two locations in Jambi province to 66 ± 25 Mg CO 2 ha –1 year –1 for a site in Riau. For adjacent plots within 3.2 km in the Kampar Peninsula, Riau, CO 2 fluxes from an oil palm plantation, an Acacia plantation, a secondary forest and a rubber plantation were 66 ± 25, 59 ± 19, 61 ± 25, 52 ± 17 Mg ha –1 year –1 , respectively, while on bare land sites it was between 56 ± 30 and 67 ± 24 Mg CO 2 ha –1 year –1 , indicating no significant differences among the different land-use systems in the same landscape. Unexplained site variation seems to dominate over land use in influencing CO 2 flux. CO 2 fluxes varied with time of day (p > 0.001) with the noon flux as the highest, suggesting an overestimate of the mean flux values with the absence of night-time measurements. In general, CO 2 flux increased with the depth of water table, suggesting the importance of keeping the peat as wet as possible. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014
