10 Peat Thickness Estimation (Shimada Model) Vegetation (Physiology) Adjust Response Phenology Classification (cf. Lugo et al. 1990) Hydroperiod Shallow peat layer Mineral Soil WET DRY Greater GWL fluctuation Hypothesis Temporarily High flood condition Deep peat layer Mineral Soil WET DRY Moderate GWL fluctuation Permanently Wet condition Seasonal fluctuation of GWL is different; moderate at deep peat, while greater at shallow peat. This might reflect the vegetation physiologically.

11 Idea of Peat Depth Classification In Tropical Peat Swamp Forest, type of forest stand and its phenology are corresponded to Peat Depth, in terms of seasonal groundwater level fluctuations. Its difference produce spatial trends of plant activity in each season. To detect these, Supervised classification were conducted using multi-temporal satellite scene with Peat Depth Database as training data. Index of Plant Activity: NDVI Target Period : Early 90 s Relatively Undisturbed Condition (Before Mega Rice Project) Marginal Mixed Swamp Forest Elevation (m) NDVI Low Pole Forest Tall Interior Forest Distance from river (km) NIR NIR Multi-temporal satellite scene (NDVI) were assembled Red Red A month NDVI B month NDVI C month NDVI D month NDVI.

24 Subsidence measurement by use of a laser distance meter The laser distance meter is fixed on the pole which is inserted into the soil until it reaches to a clay soil. The target of observation is a plastic pole put on the ground removing the fresh litter on surface. The change of the distance is recorded together with the underground water level. This change corresponds to the peat soil layer thickness change above clay layer. The precision of distance meter is 50 μm.

25 Subsidence (mm) Ground water table (cm) Peat surface level (mm) Peatland Subsidence Monitoring Peat is shrinking and swelling which is strongly affected by ground water table. It results in uplift and subsidence which are measured by five methods with different precision (Fig. A). Laser distance meter method enables to monitor the subsidence precisely and reliably (Fig. B) Av. precision (5) Laser distance meter (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Fig. A: Precisions of five subsidence methods; (1) Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), (2) Interferometric SAR(InSAR), (3) Leveling pole, (4) differential GPS, (5) Laser distance meter /17 4/6 4/26 5/16 6/5 6/25 Fig. B Relationship between ground water level (blue) and peat surface level (red) Subsidence CO2 emission Presented by Kawasaki (2013) Drainage Peat (Carbon)
