Peatlands, the largest natural terrestrial carbon storage on the earth, play a significant role in mitigating greenhouse gases. However, their ability to store carbon is threatened by peat oxidation, the decomposition of organic matter in the peat. This decomposition reduces the volume of peat and causes subsidence, making it essential
