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×
