Hydrological dynamics in a tropical peatland mosaic at Pulau Padang, Indonesia: Influence of land-cover changes and rainfall variability

Key Points

• Hydrological dynamics are significantly affected by rainfall variability in peatland ecosystems.
• Key evidence shows that variations in rainfall can alter water levels by up to 30%, affecting peatland health.
• Analysis includes data from a tropical peatland mosaic influenced by different land-cover types and climate factors.
• Findings highlight the need for careful land management strategies to preserve these vital ecosystems.
