In this "Tropical Peatland Eco-management" book, eco-management is
new terminology as an abbreviation of "ecology-based management for
natural capital enhancement". Key concept on this eco-management is
derived from previous book: "Tropical Peatland Ecosystem"(Springer,
2015, eds. by M. Osaki and N. Tsuji). Based on this new concept,
this book thoroughly examines tropical peatland eco-management for
scientists, political decision makers, governmental officials, land
managers, students, and NGO/NPOs who are interested in 1) what the
impact of peatland on climate change and ecosystem function, 2) how
the management of disturbed peatland, and 3) drawing global scale
restoration mechanisms of peatland and wetland. In tropical
peatland, a large amount of GHGs (carbon dioxide, methane, and
nitrous oxide) is emitted due to the unappropriate development and
inadequate management of peatland. The peatland ecosystems consist
of the carbon-water complex, which is affected easily by the impact
of human and climate change. Throughout much research of tropical
peatland, the problems that result from development of tropical
peatland are found to stem mainly from a lack of understanding of
the complexities of this ecosystem and the fragility of the
relationship between peat and forest and also between carbon and
water. In past, almost all peatland development and management
system have been generally designed on "water drainage system". On
the contrast of old system, an innovated eco- management is, here,
proposed as "water irrigation system", including water cycling and
natural capital enhancement. Through this book readers will learn
the advanced peatland eco-management, with more practical methods
and procedure based on ecosystem knowledge.
