  1. Peat and GHG Science- KFCP REDD+ Demonstration Grahame ApplegateIndonesia- Australia Forest Carbon Partnership International Indonesia Peatland Conversation February 25-27, 2013 Bandung, Indonesia

  2. Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership • REDD+ demonstration activity in the Ex-Mega Rice Project area in Central Kalimantan which aims to: • Develop methodologies for REDD+ in peat swamp forests • Inform UNFCCC negotiations on REDD+ • Facilitate Indonesian participation in future international carbon markets • Supported by a A$47 m commitment from Government of Australia International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  3. Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership KFCP, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia Land Cover in KFCP Site in 2010 International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  4. Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership Activities • Physical and ecological interventions (peatland rehabilitation- canal blocking, PSF nursery production reforestation, tatas blocking and alternative livelihood development ) • Social and economic incentives • Baseline and changes to peatland carbon stocks and monitoring • Governance and payment mechanisms • Supporting research, M&E, and capacity building International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  5. Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership Component 2: Emissions Estimation &Monitoring • KFCP GHG emissions estimation and monitoring program established and linked to INCAS. International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  6. Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership • Develop a science-based methodology for estimating changes in forest biomass and GHG emissions from peat lands • Apply the methodology to estimate the pattern of historical forest changes and emissions • Develop methods to forecast the effects of REDD+ interventions (canal blocking, fire management , reforestation, livelihooods) on changes to the forest and future GHG emissions International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  7. Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership • Tropical peat and green house gas emissions science • Peatland/forest and hydrology monitoring for inputs into the greenhouse gas emissions accounting model and changes to PSF International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  8. 1. Peat Science • KFCP has undertaken a comprehensive “Review of the science underpinning a methodology for GHG accounting in tropical peat lands” • KFCP has developed a “Framework methodology for estimation of GHG emissions from tropical peat lands in Indonesia” • Characterisation of peat including; bulk density, moisture content and ash content and ignition probability estimates • Determine GHG emission factors from fire in tropical peat • Develop a modelling platform to be used to establish the temporal pattern of carbon emissions for the KFCP site and surrounding region. The approach is consistent with IPCC GHG accounting methodology • Understand degrading peat carbon loss dynamics in peatland • Forest biomass and carbon content of peat swamp forests (disturbance classes) including root biomass and root:shoot ratios International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  9. 2. Peat & Hydrology Monitoring Long time monitoring to evaluate the impact of  hydrological rehabilitation  by: • Groundwater monitoring using dipwells over 80 km of transect – 3+ years • Establishing and monitor a series of steel subsidence poles and elevation surveys • Regular monitoring of canal surface water tables using stream gauges • Recording rainfall using rain gauges • Measuring temperature of top soil on the transects • Measuring canal discharges near the transects International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  10. Hydrological Monitoring Parameters International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  11. Peat Characteristics and Monitoring Parameters International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  12. Lidar Survey • Point density of 2/m2 is sufficient • Discrete return LIDAR has better accuracy than full-waveform for topography • LIDAR used for subsidence monitoring - 5 to 10 years, cost- IDR 18,500 /ha • Peat dome shape for head heights for canal blocking • LIDAR to determine DTM based on the minimum value in 100x100 m cells • Determine extent of flooding along the Kapuas River • Biomass determination International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  13. KFCP Experience in Peat Measurements and GHG Estimations Comprehensive and reliable peatland data can only be obtained by: • good design, planning, work plan, managing, and documenting data collection • trained and experienced personnel under tight supervision • credible and internationally accepted methodologies and practices • SOP, guidebooks / manuals, and clear instruction on how to undertake the various monitoring tasks in the field International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia

  14. Relevance to Peatland Policy in Indonesia • Peatlands difficult to get consistently good quality data-all methods and information used for policy should be verified • Clear relation between water table depth and carbon loss from oxidation and fire in space and time- supports canal blocking to reduce GHG emissions • Lack of elevation and reliable peat depth lead to inaccurate assumptions on land suitability and vulnerability • Solution- Lidar and other remote sensing in combination with credible field data(bulk density, elevation for DEMs and peat loss International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia
