The effect of land remediation on Carbon balance in tropical peat area

以下结果是在泰国南部热带泥炭区进行研究后得出的。（1）土壤温度日变化对泥炭分解速率的影响小于6%。这一事实意味着可以从日平均气温估算出一年的碳排放率。（2）在浅埋条件下，泥炭分解速率随埋深的增加而增大。但在地下水位50 cm以下，其速率几乎不变。（3）东南亚不同地区泥炭土的潜在分解速率具有相似的热力学特征，最大差异在40%左右。

The following results were concluded after the research in a tropical peat area in southern Thailand.(1)Diurnal change of soil temperature effects less than 6% of daily averaged peat decomposition rate. This fact imply that carbon emission rate in a year can be e stimate from daily average temperatures.(2)Peat decomposition rate increases as water table becomes deeper in shallow table condition. The rate, however, is almost constant below 50cm deep in water table.(3)Potential decomposition rate of peat soil at different places in the Southeast Asia show similar thermal characteristics and the maximum difference of the rate is a bout 40%.
