Table 3 The median ditch emission factors for both plantation rotations are expressed as kilogram CO2 eq ha−1 d−1, accounting for emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O. The emission factors per ha of land were calculated based on ditch coverage in one ha of land, which was 341.62 m2 in the first rotation and 388.09 m2 in the second rotation.
From: Greenhouse gas emissions from ditches in oil palm plantations on tropical peatlands in Malaysia
CO2 kg ha−1 d−1 | CH4 kgCO2 eq ha−1 d−1 | N2O kgCO2 eq ha−1 d−1 | CO2-equivalent kgCO2 eq ha−1 d−1 | |

First rotation | 5.84 | 3.02 | − 0.0008 | 9.51 |
Second rotation | 5.69 | 1.05 | − 0.001 | 8.99 |
Combined | 5.84 | 2.78 | − 0.001 | 9.13 |
