Tropical Peatland Eco-evaluation

This book focuses on eco-evaluation system monitoring and sensing, carbon-water modelling, mapping, and disaster prediction. It is the third book on tropical peatland issues, following Tropical Peatland Ecosystem and Tropical Peatland Eco-management. Tropical peatland is simultaneously wetland, mangrove, and rainforest, meaning water and forest are two key elements. This book introduces the relationship and interaction among water, oxygen, and nutrients as well as aspects of the forest as the driving force of carbon stock and the carbon cycle. Eco-evaluation system is key to conserving, managing, and restoring tropical peatlands, however, a comprehensive system for eco-evaluation in the tropics is not yet established. This book reviews and proposes eco-evaluation methods in the tropics, focusing mainly on the peatland ecosystem and others, covering social capital such as credit, bonds, national accounting, etc.
