Rieley J. O., Sieffermann G., Page S. E. The origin, development, present status and importance of the lowland peat swamp forests of Borneo.
Tiivistelmä
The peatlands of Borneo have been classified into coastal, basin/valley and high peats. Their formation is related to past and present climatic conditions, land erosion, sediment transport and deposition, pedogenesis, fluctuations in sea level and coastal building/uplift processes. The age of tropical peat varies from around 800 years to in excess of 10 000 years. The natural vegetation of tropical peatlands is forest within which most of the tree families of lowland dipterocarp rain forest have been recorded although the canopy is lower and more open. Tropical peatlands perform important ecological, economic and environmental functions. Keywords: Deferrification, peatland, tropical podzols
