Description: Das Projekt "Erhebungen über den Aufbau und die Biomasse ... bezogen auf die Wälder in Indonesien" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Technische Universität Dresden, Institut für Waldwachstum und Forstliche Informatik, Professur für Forstliche Biometrie und Forstliche Systemanalyse durchgeführt. Kampar Peninsula is an excellent example of tropical peatland ecosystems, which is highly degraded, drained and converted into other land uses. This region represents 30 Prozent of peatland ecosystems in Indonesia, and the potential of carbon released from the forest region is huge. Thus, the Kampar Peninsula peatlands play important roles, both for Indonesia and South East Asia carbon cycle. This study aims: (1) to assess successional patterns and to forecast dominant trees species over tropical peatlands using individual based modeling. (2) to establish a standard method for peat domevolume predictions as the basis for below ground biomass estimation, applying remote sensing and spatial data analysis, and (3) to study the connections between biomass, peat characteristics and vegetation patterns for better understanding of the peatlands behavior. To achieve these objectives, we will apply multidisciplinary approach, namely individual based modeling (IBM) simulation, combining field data and remote sensing data for model parameterization. Additionally, remote sensing methods (i.e. polarimetry SAR and PolinSAR techniques) will be used to map the biomass and carbon stocks over the study area. The connections between biomass and carbon stocks, forest stand structure and parameters, peatland hydrology and land cover/land use map over the area may provide clear descriptions about the behaviorof tropical peatlands, which is relatively unknown. The study will also provide usefulinformation regarding carbon stocks and biomass abundance level that is required as a basis for carbon mechanism development of this particularly unique ecosystems.
