ProjectDeveloping an Innovative Peatlands Monitoring System - UNJP/GLO/927/OPS 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Peatlands cover only 3 percent of global land area but store nearly 30 percent of the world’s soil carbon, and may contain twice as much carbon as the world’s forests. Peat related emissions are significant and are estimated to cause approximately 10 percent of total anthropogenic emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors, and at least 5 percent of global emissions. In addition to climate mitigation, they play a significant role in providing other ecosystem services that support the adaptive capacity of ecosystems and communities. Against this background, the project aimed to address the critical need for improved peatland monitoring systems. The first phase of the project focused on the global development of monitoring tools, approaches and guidance for peatlands monitoring, as well as a robust tool for estimating peatland emissions and removals from degradation and restoration. The focus moved to Indonesia in the second phase, which has 40 percent of all known tropical peatlands, to pilot test the methods and work towards an operational peatland monitoring system in the country, which would have application and utility in many countries containing peat. -
DocumentPractical guidance for peatland restoration monitoring in Indonesia
A remote sensing approach using FAO-SEPAL platform
2021Also available in:
This technical document is intended to give an overview of the use of several remote sensing tools produced by FAO for peatland restoration monitoring in Indonesia. At the core of these tools is the Soil Moisture Mapping (SMM) module in the FAO System for Earth Observation Data Access, Processing and Analysis for Land Monitoring (SEPAL). The Soil Moisture Mapping module was first created using available free, global satellite datasets and meteorological observations to retrieve soil moisture worldwide based on the algorithms developed by Greifeneder et al. 20191. To interpret the soil moisture mapping results, this report shows step-by-step followed methodologies for: the selection of available field data for validation; the study of land cover physical properties in the Indonesian landscape that have an influence on the correct interpretation of the product; and detecting, characterizing, and monitoring land cover change within time series (BFAST). The aim is to provide practical guidance to perform peatland monitoring analysis and strengthen capacities of practitioners and institutions in charge of peatland management, monitoring and reporting with the help of tools on SEPAL. This builds on the report “Peatland mapping and monitoring: recommendations and technical overview” (FAO, 2020). The guidance focuses on the description step by step of FAO peatland monitoring tools, showing its advantages and limitations. It also contains summaries of peatland ecology and condition for its assessment with remote sensing products. This document offers recommendations to interpret the results and integrate them into national monitoring frameworks.
