Towards sustainable palm oil production: The positive and negative impacts on ecosystem services and human wellbeing (2021, background): “For example, the conversion of forest on mineral soil to oil palm plantation has been estimated to result in mean carbon losses of about 702 MgCO2ha 1 over 30years, while conversions on peatlands lead to carbon losses ranging from 1486 to 4746 MgCO2ha 1 over 30 years (Fargione et al., 2010).”
