A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines 10 common claims regarding the controlled burning and rewetting of heather on UK peatlands, concluding that most are unsubstantiated and lack robust data.

This executive summary by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) evaluates the economic and ecological value of Manitoba’s Hudson Bay Lowlands, emphasizing its role in carbon storage, biodiversity, and Indigenous-led conservation to help Canada and Manitoba meet 2030 protection targets.

This research paper analyzes the relationship between Indonesia's palm oil production, its export markets, and the resulting deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions, utilizing Trase supply chain data.

This paper critiques a 2021 evidence review by Natural England titled "Carbon Storage and Sequestration by Habitat" (Gregg et al.), arguing that the review's methodology lacks transparency and misrepresents the role of prescribed fire in UK heather-dominated blanket bog peatlands.

This report details a Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) assessment of peatland and mangrove restoration in Indonesia, specifically focusing on the Katingan peatlands and Belitung mangroves. It evaluates the societal benefits and costs of various policy and climate scenarios, concluding that sustainable management is cost-effective for climate mitigation and community support, provided that local communities have alternative income sources to avoid environmentally damaging activities.

This research paper examines the necessity of integrating peatland science into Earth System Models and Integrated Assessment Models to improve climate change predictions, noting that peatlands are predicted to transition from carbon sinks to carbon sources within the current century.

This research paper evaluates the physical impacts of cutting versus burning management practices on blanket bog peatlands in the North of England, specifically focusing on soil compaction and micro-topography in the context of red grouse moor management.

This research paper examines 'bog breathing'—the shrinkage and expansion of peat surface levels in response to water table changes—and its impact on carbon stock calculations in northern England's upland blanket bogs.

This research paper evaluates the accuracy of testate amoebae (TA)-based water-table depth (WTD) reconstructions by comparing them with instrumentally-monitored data and the MILLENNIA peatland model to understand the impacts of climate change and land management on peatland carbon cycling.

The Central Kalimantan: High Conservation Value Provincial Assessment, produced by the Palangka Raya Institute for Land Use and Agricultural Research (PILAR) and the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), identifies biological, ecological, social, and cultural values in Central Kalimantan to inform sustainable land use and regional spatial planning.

This research paper by the Climate Policy Initiative describes a landscape management approach designed to transform Indonesia's oil palm sector into a high-productivity, sustainable industry. The approach, supported by Unilever and IDH, moves beyond simple supply chain traceability to manage agricultural production and ecosystem protection across connected areas of land at scale. The document details a five-step implementation process and highlights a pilot project in Sei Mangkei, North Sumatra, aimed at improving land-use planning, increasing smallholder productivity, and protecting peat and forest ecosystems.

This consultation background paper, published by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) in December 2014, outlines the context for developing a new provincial climate change and green economy plan for Manitoba. It specifically focuses on the role of peatlands in emissions reduction, climate resilience, and economic development, while reviewing Manitoba's previous emissions performance and comparing climate policies across other jurisdictions.

A research paper investigating the drivers of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) dynamics in six UK peatlands during simulated drought cycles, finding that DOC decreases are consistently linked to acidification (measured by acid neutralising capacity) rather than solely by sulphate levels or soil biota.

The authors introduce MILLENNIA, a peat age-cohort model designed to address shortcomings in global soil models regarding the representation of long-term soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and dynamic hydrological processes, specifically water table depth (WTD). The model's predictions for SOC accumulation and peat ages were validated against observations from a UK peatland site.

This report by Friends of the Earth Netherlands and WALHI KalBar examines how European biofuel policies and the resulting demand for palm oil have driven unsustainable plantation expansion in the Ketapang District of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It details systemic failures in governance, including the issuance of 'fast track' permits that bypass environmental and social safeguards, leading to illegal deforestation, carbon emissions, and severe land conflicts with indigenous communities.

This executive summary by Friends of the Earth International challenges the sustainability claims of the Malaysian palm oil lobby, specifically the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC). The document argues that palm oil expansion, particularly in the state of Sarawak, is driving deforestation, violating indigenous land rights, and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions through the drainage and burning of peatlands, often fueled by European and American demand for biofuels.

This briefing note, produced by WCS Indonesia and the Global Canopy Programme, evaluates the coherence of Indonesia's water, energy, and food (WEF) security targets. It argues that while Indonesia aims for rapid economic growth and self-sufficiency, its 'business-as-usual' model of exploiting natural resources has led to severe environmental degradation, which now threatens the very security targets the government seeks to achieve. The document advocates for a WEF nexus approach to manage trade-offs between sector goals and forest conservation.
