We summarize the current status of carbon and GHG budget estimates in tropical ecosystems at different spatial scales by using a process-based terrestrial ecosystem model. First, carbon balances of tropical peatland forest were simulated at the site scale. Second, we evaluated changes in carbon budgets of Borneo Island taking land-use changes into account. Third, we evaluated methane emissions from wetlands on a global scale
