These peatlands are significant natural sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs), including CO\u2082, CH\u2084 and N\u2082O, but the environmental controls on their emissions remain poorly understood. To address this, we collected surface peat samples from six regional landscapes, spanning palm- and hardwood-dominated sites, and incubated them under three hydrological regimes: flooded aerobic, flooded anoxic and mesic (aerobic and no surface water). This allowed us to quantify how hydrology and peat chemistry (carbon, nutrients and organic chemistry) influence GHG dynamics. We observed strong differences in GHG production between vegetation types, and high sensitivity to hydrological change. Using random forest models, we assessed 27 potential drivers of GHG fluxes, identifying distinct controls across GHGs and hydrological regimes. Incubation of deeper peat samples (up to 1.5 m) highlighted that surface layers dominate peat GHG production. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that hydrology, vegetation, nutrients and peat organic chemistry shape regional GHG emissions, driving substantial spatial variability. Changes to peatland hydrology, for example from land use or climate change, could significantly shift GHG balances, with important implications for global climate feedbacks.
