Abstract:Erosion area, volume and particulate organic carbon emission to the ocean were calculated by the coastal erosion of the Bengkalis Island, Indonesia. In the Bengkalis Island, total of 741 ha peatland has lost from 1998 to 2013. The erosion rate of the coast is almost double in recent 5 years. Annual total of 2.6 Mm 3 of the peat and 1.2 Mm 3 of the clay have been eroded to the ocean. Annual particulate organic carbon loss from the Bengkalis Island was at the maximum of 0.13 Tg. Also, groundwater emission to the… Show more
