Understanding variability of biogenic gas fluxes from peat soils at high temporal resolution using capacitance moisture probes

<p> Peatlands act as carbon sinks while representing major sources of biogenic gases such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), two potent greenhouse gases. Gas production and release in these peats soils are also influenced by overall warm temperatures and water table fluctuations due to...
