Macrocharcoal concentration and fire peak of the KP peat core from the Kampar Peninsula, Riau, Sumatra Indonesia

A multi-proxy palaeoecological investigation including pollen and spore, loss-on-ignition, total organic carbon, stable carbon isotope and micro- and macrocharcoal was carried out on two peat cores collected from coastal area in eastern Sumatra. The study was conducted to understand the development and dynamics of the coastal peatlands, the Kampar Peninsula in Sumatra. Macrocharcoal analysis was conducted following protocols in Rhodes (1998) and Stevenson and Haberle (2005). Loss-on-ignition analysis was carried out following (Chambers et al., 2011).本研究以采自苏门答腊东部沿海区域的2根泥炭岩芯为研究对象，开展了涵盖花粉与孢子、烧失量（loss-on-ignition）、总有机碳（total organic carbon）、稳定碳同位素（stable carbon isotope）以及微炭屑与宏观炭屑（micro- and macrocharcoal）分析的多代用指标古生态学调查（multi-proxy palaeoecological investigation）。本研究旨在厘清苏门答腊甘巴半岛沿海泥炭地的发育过程与动态变化规律。宏观炭屑分析参照Rhodes（1998）以及Stevenson与Haberle（2005）的实验方案完成。烧失量分析则依据Chambers等（2011）的方法开展。
