Peat soils are organic formed from decomposed plant parts that spread throughout the world, reaching 423 million hectares. It is well known peat have adverse characteristics for infrastructure development due to their low shear strength and durability. Therefore, a lot of research has been done regarding improvement so in dominant soil locations. However, conducting research, many tests were fo...

[1] Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a considerable sink for the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) in marine systems, but the importance of this process in terrestrial systems is less clear. Lowland boreal soils and wet tropical soils are two hot spots for CH4 cycling, yet AOM has been essentially uncharacterized in these systems. We investigated AOM in soils from sites in Alaska and Puerto R...

Most of the soil conditions in Kubu Raya Regency are soft and peat with low carrying capacity potential for foundation subsidence, especially high-rise buildings. Using a Hydraulic Static Pile Driver 120 tons Crane Mounted Drop Hammer 35 is an alternative to driving deep foundations on soft/peat soils. The purpose this study was conduct comparative productivity, costs, risk aspects, occupationa...

Abstract In Malaysia, peat soils have been successfully planted with various crops such as pineapple, oil palm, and sago. However, the development of to plantations may raise problems environment alter their physical morphological characteristics. Hence, this study was conducted differentiate microstructure between natural pineapple cultivated peat. The soil samples were taken at 0-50 cm, 50-10...
