8. 1. Peat Science International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia KFCP has undertaken a comprehensive “Review of the science underpinning a methodology for GHG accounting in tropical peat lands” KFCP has developed a “Framework methodology for estimation of GHG emissions from tropical peat lands in Indonesia” Characterisation of peat including; bulk density, moisture content and ash content and ignition probability estimates Determine GHG emission factors from fire in tropical peat Develop a modelling platform to be used to establish the temporal pattern of carbon emissions for the KFCP site and surrounding region. The approach is consistent with IPCC GHG accounting methodology Understand degrading peat carbon loss dynamics in peatland Forest biomass and carbon content of peat swamp forests (disturbance classes) including root biomass and root:shoot ratios

9. 2. Peat & Hydrology Monitoring International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia Long time monitoring to evaluate the impact of hydrological rehabilitation by: Groundwater monitoring using dipwells over 80 km of transect – 3+ years Establishing and monitor a series of steel subsidence poles and elevation surveys Regular monitoring of canal surface water tables using stream gauges Recording rainfall using rain gauges Measuring temperature of top soil on the transects Measuring canal discharges near the transects

13. KFCP Experience in Peat Measurements and GHG Estimations International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia Comprehensive and reliable peatland data can only be obtained by: good design, planning, work plan, managing, and documenting data collection trained and experienced personnel under tight supervision credible and internationally accepted methodologies and practices SOP, guidebooks / manuals, and clear instruction on how to undertake the various monitoring tasks in the field

14. Relevance to Peatland Policy in Indonesia International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia Peatlands difficult to get consistently good quality data-all methods and information used for policy should be verified Clear relation between water table depth and carbon loss from oxidation and fire in space and time- supports canal blocking to reduce GHG emissions Lack of elevation and reliable peat depth lead to inaccurate assumptions on land suitability and vulnerability Solution- Lidar and other remote sensing in combination with credible field data(bulk density, elevation for DEMs and peat loss
