The Indonesian carbon system
We investigate the effects of different emission and functioning scenarios of the "Indonesian carbon system" on the global carbon cycle. The Indonesian carbon system comprises various carbon reservoirs including the tropical rain forest, the peatlands, the seagrasses, the coral reefs and the neritic plankton. We assess and quantify the role of each of these components to different regional anthropogenic per- turbations with a box model of the global ocean to identify potential positive or negative feedbacks to the global carbon cycle.
The main focus of this study is to provide a quantitative understanding of the effects of peatland degradation on the carbon cycle on the regional and global scales. The results of our modelling work can be used to develop appropriate mitigation strategies.
