Mapping deep peat carbon stock from a LiDAR based DTM and field measurements, with application to eastern Sumatra

Abstract Background Reduction of carbon emissions from peatlands is recognized as an important factor in global climate change mitigation. Within the SE Asia region, areas of deeper peat present the greatest carbon stocks, and therefore the greatest potential for future carbon emissions from degrada...
