in the Maritime Continent of Southeast Asia, the region between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, including Indonesia, Borneo, New Guinea, the Philippines, and the Malay Peninsula (1,2). Peatlands are defined by three main characteristics: carbon-rich peat soils, high water levels, and low soil and water nutrient contents. Their lownutrient environment arises through a number of factors. Peat is composed of carbon-rich fibres, mainly lignin, which are nutrient poor, with nutrient desorption outweighing adsorption. The low pH of the soil (<4) exacerbates this low cation (positive ion) absorption capacity; even nutrients in fertilizers are applied, resulting in limited exchange efficacy. In addition, peatland geomorphology controls the source of water. Peatland regions form peatland domes, areas of relatively higher topography (approx 10m elevation in the centre, dropping to river level along a radius of approx 10km) created by thick layers of peat soils. As natural water courses (rivers) flow around these structures, they do not offer a water source for the peat soils within the dome. Therefore, precipitation, which is naturally nutrient poor, forms the primary water source. The relatively acidic pH of precipitation (~5.6) also contributes to nutrient leaching (1). An additional confounding factor is oxygen deficiency due to extremely low oxygen solubilisation into the water due to physical traits, resulting in reduced nutrients absorption by plants [Figures 1 and 2].

for early childhood educators is assessing children’s progression during this particularly free-spirited part of their education. It is a period in their learning that lays the vital groundwork for their educational future. This is especially the case in critical STEM education – science, technology, engineering, and maths. In Australia, as in other countries worldwide, early childhood education practice around STEM is currently geared towards content and assessing children’s knowledge of that content. However, two leading Australian STEM education researchers are encouraging educators to rethink how children interact with these subjects by pointing out that it is a crucial component of their play, and that assessing their progression should capitalise on that.

Machine learning relies on mathematics, data, and algorithms to identify patterns in natural phenomena. In other words, computers gradually improve their accuracy without being explicitly instructed how to do so. Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence which can be defined as the ability of a computer program to learn from experience with respect to a specific kind of data and a performance measure. The conventional learning process begins by feeding input data to the algorithm, which extracts features and classifies them by providing a predicted output. We refer to the conventional machine Adaptive experiments Machine learning can help scientific discovery

susceptible to high soil moisture and groundwater levels. As such, conventional water management schemes called ‘Drainage orientated Water-management’ (DoW), predominate in areas of tropical peatland, especially plantations, and are characterised by low groundwater levels. Reducing the groundwater level for agriculture and plantations has long been a fundamental aim for tropical peatland management. Consequently, the DoW has significant impacts on the degradation of tropical peatland (1).
