Effects of land use conversion on selected physico-chemical properties of peat in the Leyte Sab-a Basin Peatland, Philippines

Tropical peatlands are unique wetland ecosystems which provide various ecosystem services such as carbon storage and nutrient cycling. However, they have been substantially altered and transformed by land use conversion. The present study investigated the effects of land use conversion on the physic...
