Water temperature (WT), pH, HCO3-, dissolved oxygen and the concentration of Chl-a in Xiangxi Bay were measured in spring. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide was calculated by the chemical balance and Henry's Law while CO2 flux by the thin-layer diffusion model. Results showed that pCO2 of surface water in Xiangxi Bay varied from 8.

Results indicated that the fluxes of CO2, CH4 and N2O across the water-air interface showed an obvious diurnal variation. The absorption and emission process of CH4 showed strong diurnal variation during the experimental period, reaching the highest emission at 1 am, whereas CO2 and N2O were emitted all day.
