Carbon Emission from Oil Palm Located on Deep Peat in the EMRP

Despite the regulatory threshold of peat deeper than 3 meters is not allowed for agricultural cultivating activities, yet, about 40% oil palm plantation in the Ex-Mega Rice Project (EMRP), Central Kalimantan located in deep peatland (>3 meters depth). Continuing oil palm practices on deep peat in the EMRP will release high carbon dioxide results from peat drained and other factors.
To know further details please read out paper authored by Dohong, A et al., 2018 entitled: "Carbon emissions from oil palm development on deep peat soil in Central Kalimantan Indonesia", published in Anthropocene Vol. 22 June 2018, pp. 31-39 in the following journal access:
