In the paper “Seasonal variability in methane and nitrous oxide fluxes from tropical peatlands in the western Amazon basin” by Teh et al. (Biogeosciences, 14, 3669–3683, 2017), the following error occurred: methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes were calculated using incorrect values for the surface area of the flux chambers, leading to an underestimation of the CH4 and N2O fluxes. Application of the correct surface area resulted in fluxes that were approximately 5× higher than values reported in the paper, except for forested vegetation, where fluxes increased by approximately 16×
