An easy and robust recipe to monitor groundwater table dynamics in tropical peat forests
AGU 2024
biogeosciences | 13 december 2024
Rui Cheng, Saurabh Amin, Charles F. Harvey
Uptake and release of carbon from peatlands are regulated by the depth of the groundwater table, which shifts with rainfall and drainage. Here, we pre...
