Abstract

A rebuttal of this paper was submitted to Nature Geoscience
The paper by Sweetman et al. (2024) is criticized for poor-quality lander incubation experiments, leading to faulty oxygen flux measurements. The authors misinterpret results and make unsupported speculations, raising serious concerns about the methodology, data handling, and overall conclusions of the study.
