Mha (20%) of the peatlands of Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo in 2010, surpassing the area of Belgium and causing an annual carbon emission from peat decomposition of 230–310 Mt CO 2 e. That number is in my opinion conservative, and consistent with a slight reduction in the rate of peat conversion. —Miettinen et al.
