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

1. Tropical peat and green house gas emissions science
2. Peatland/forest and hydrology monitoring for inputs into the greenhouse gas emissions accounting model and changes to PSF
1. Peat Science
International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia
• 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
2. Peat & Hydrology Monitoring
International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia
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

Lidar Survey
International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia
• 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
KFCP Experience in Peat Measurements and GHG Estimations
International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, Indonesia
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
Relevance to Peatland Policy in Indonesia
International Indonesia Peatland Conversation | February 25-27, 2013 | Bandung, 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
