Does pyrite oxidation contribute to the acidification of tropical peat? A case studyin a peat swamp forestin Central Kalimantan,Indonesia

The chemical properties of peat pore water in the basin of the Sebangau River and Lahei district, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, were studied. We analyzed major ions, pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and redox potential (Eh) of the peat pore water with reference to their vertical profile. We evaluated the contribution of sulfates to the acidi.cation of peat by including data from Furen mire, eastern Hokkaido, Japan. The coastal peat of Furen mire and the peat in Paduran in the lower basin of the Sebangau River included extraordinarily high concentrations of sulfates (> 1000 mg/l) compared to the peat in the middle and upper basins of the river (< 10 mg/l). High concentrations of sulfates, however, did not lead to a low pH for the peat. The present findings suggest that the acidification of the peat pore water is subject to the production of organic acids originating from peat decomposition, rather than the production of sulfuric acid produced by pyrite oxidation in the underlying mineral sediments.     

Long-term monitoring of post-fire aboveground biomass recovery in a lowland dipterocarp forest in East Kalimantan,Indonesia

Between 1988 and 2000, changes in the above-ground biomass (AGB) of trees in an East Kalimantan lowland forest, damaged by fires in 1982–83 and 1998, were estimated using allometric functions and an annual inventory of stem diameter. The original vegetation of the study site was lowland dipterocarp forest which has since been affected by selective logging and wild fires. The 1982–83 fire killed large trees of primary species and the opened sites became dominated by a few pioneer species. Between 1988 and 1997, a few pioneer tree species, namely Macaranga spp., dominated a heavily disturbed stand (HDS). Primary tree species that survived the 1982–83 fire dominated a lightly disturbed stand (LDS). A moderately disturbed stand (MDS) contained vegetation intermediate between the HDS and the LDS. In 1997, there were 553, 499 and 356 trees ha-1 in the HDS, MDS and LDS, respectively. Macaranga trees accounted for 70, 40 and 11 of the total number of trees in the HDS, MDS, and LDS, respectively. In 1997, the AGB of trees in the HDS, MDS, and LDS was 117, 280, and 315 Mg ha-1, respectively. The proportion of biomass accounted for by Macaranga trees for the HDS, MDS, and LDS was 34, 8 and 1, respectively. The pioneer trees did not compensate for the loss of aboveground biomass resulting from the death of large primary trees. The fire in 1998 again decreased AGB of the stands. In 2000, the AGB of trees in the HDS, MDS, and LDS was 27, 106, and 219 Mg ha-1, respectively. The sites opened up by the 1998 fire were covered with the pioneer seedlings and seemingly dominated by the pioneer trees with a larger number of stems per ha, but lower biomass as compared to the original forest (> 400 Mg ha-1).     

Geodynamical features and geotectonic evolution of Kalimantan and adjacent areas

Kalimantan Island is located in the Southeast Asia continental marginal tectono-magmatic mobile zone in the West Pacific Ocean, where the lithosphere of Earth is one of the most complicated tectonic mobile regions on the Earth since Meso-Cenozoic. Based on the geophysical data of the basement and deep structures, the stress field of mantle flow, the maximum principal stress field and geothermal flux, the crustal nature and geodynamical features of Kalimantan Island and adjacent areas were analyzed. Researches on geotectonic movement and evolution of Kalimantan and adjacent areas show that Southeast Asia continental margin crustobody was formed at about middle-late Triassic. In addition, the geotectonic units of the Kalimantan area were subdivided, and characteristics of their geotectonic evolution were discussed.     

Greenhouse gas emissions from tropical peatlands of Kalimantan,Indonesia

Greenhouse gas emissions were measured from tropical peatlands of Kalimantan, Indonesia. The effect of hydrological zone and land-use on the emission of N₂O, CH₄ and CO₂ were examined. Temporal and annual N₂O, CH₄ and CO₂ were then measured. The results showed that the emissions of these gases were strongly affected by land-use and hydrological zone. The emissions exhibited seasonal changes. Annual emission of N₂O was the highest (nearly 1.4 g N m^–2y^–1) from site A-1 (secondary forest), while there was no signi.cant difference in annual N₂O emission from site A-2 (paddy field) and site A-3 (rice-soybean rotation field). Multiplying the areas of forest and non-forest in Kalimantan with the emission of N₂O from corresponding land-uses, the annual N₂O emissions from peat forest and peat non-forest of Kalimantan were estimated as 0.046 and 0.004 Tg N y^–1, respectively. The emissions of CH₄ from paddy field and non-paddy field were estimated similarly as 0.14 and 0.21 Tg C y^–1, respectively. Total annual CO₂ emission was estimated to be 182 Tg C y^–1. Peatlands of Kalimantan, Indonesia, contributed less than 0.3 of the total global N₂O, CO₂ or CH₄ emission, indicating that the gaseous losses of soil N and C from the study area to the atmosphere were small.
