“…These biomes act as large reservoirs for C and play a critical role in the global C cycle (Page et al, 2011;Ribeiro et al, 2021). Changes in peatland WT are documented to govern GHG flux variability, especially in tropical regions where there is ample precipitation (Adeolu et al, 2015;Hergoualc'h et al, 2023;Hirano et al, 2014Hirano et al, , 2015Holden et al, 2004;Kwon et al, 2013;Rosenberry et al, 2006;Strack et al, 2005;Taufik et al, 2022Taufik et al, , 2023. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) fluxes are recorded to be greater when WT is lowered, while methane (CH 4 ) fluxes increase at persistently high WT (Hoyos-Santillan et al, 2019;Wong et al, 2020).…”
