Assessing the role of artificial compaction on physicochemical properties and carbon emissions of tropical peat soils

Compaction is undertaken because of claims that confined and restricted peat pores may enhance soil moisture due to the effect of capillary rise. The increase in soil moisture is said to lead to additional benefits of reduced C emissions and reduced risk and extent of peat fires. Nevertheless, infor...
