REML models performed on non-transformed CO₂−C data and log-transformed CH₄−C data

P-values marked in bold are considered significant <0.05, non-significant P-values are reported as NS

Statistical summary including degrees of freedom (df), Fisher test statistic (F ratio), and the calculated probability (P-value) derived from residual maximum likelihood mixed effects models (REML) testing the effects of antecedent drought, wetting direction and the interaction of drought and rewetting (Drought x Rewetting Direction) on cumulative carbon emissions from CO₂ and CH₄ respired during rewetting and for 20 h post-rewetting for intact and homogenized cores
