Controlled burning of peat before rewetting modifies soil chemistry and microbial dynamics to reduce short-term methane emissions

Abstract Increased CH4 emissions from rewetted organic soils can undermine the climate benefits of reduced CO2 release. This is especially problematic in low-lying areas that tend to remain waterlogged and act as potential CH4 hotspots. Here we test whether burning the soil surface before rewetting...
