Methane flux from the ornithogenic soils was preliminarily measured by closed chamber method on Xi-sha atoll, South China Sea during March 10 to April 11, 2003 for the first time. The CH4 flux ranged from -4226.7 microg/(m2 x h) to 226.3 microg/(m2 x h) at the observation sites on Dong Island. High atmospheric CH4 consumption was observed from the ornithogenic soils on sunny days. CH4 uptake rates showed the highest value after the midday and they had a strong positive correlation with soil temperatures. Under the same weather conditions, the CH4 fluxes were also observed from the intact and disturbed soils on Yongxing Island. Results showed that the intact soils with natural vegetation also showed high atmospheric CH4 consumption and the average flux was -141.8 microg/(m2 x h). However, disturbed soils via anthropogenic reclamation showed CH4 emissions and the average flux was 441.7 microg/(m2 x h). Therefore land use changes may have an important effect on the CH4 fluxes from the tropical ornithogenic soils. In addition, different observation sites show a high spatial variation in CH4 fluxes. The wetland in salt marsh showed the CH4 emission on Dong Island, and the dry soil sites all showed high atmospheric CH4 consumption, suggesting that CH4 fluxes were predominantly controlled by soil water regime. The effects of soil chemical properties on CH4 fluxes were also analyzed and discussed in this paper.

Methane (CH) processes and fluxes have been widely investigated in low-latitude tropical wetlands and high-latitude boreal peatlands. In the mid-latitude Mongolia Plateau, however, CH processes and fluxes have been less studied, particularly in riverine wetlands. In this study, in situ experiments were conducted in the riverine sandy wetlands of the Mongolia Plateau to gain a better understanding of CH emissions and their influencing mechanisms.

To clarify the characteristics of greenhouse gas emissions （CO, CH, and NO） and the comprehensive greenhouse effect from vegetable fields with different organic planting years, the differences in greenhouse gas emission flux, emission intensity （GHGI）, and warming potential （GWP） and their influencing factors among vegetable fields with different organic planting years in Songhuaba, including 10 years, 6 years, 3 years, and conventional planting, were analyzed. The results showed that the CO emissions from organic planting treatments were higher than those from conventional planting, whereas the NO and CH emissions were the opposite. Compared to those from conventional planting, the CO emission fluxes and cumulative emissions from organic cultivation for 10, 6, and 3 years increased by 121.

Recent studies indicate that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural drainage ditches can be significant on a per-unit area basis, but spatiotemporal investigations are still limited. Additionally, the impact of dredging - a common management in such environments - on ditch GHG emissions is largely unknown. This study presents year-round GHG emissions from nine ditches on a dairy farm in the center of the Netherlands, where each year, approximately half of the ditches are dredged in alternating cycles.

Peatlands are important global stores of carbon. However, peatland disturbance, including climate change, can cause stored carbon to be released, shifting peatlands from net carbon sinks to net carbon sources. Yet, there is a paucity of data on the carbon cycling of Australian peatlands from which to inform effective management of the peatland carbon store.

Freshwater ecosystem is a significant natural source of CH emission in the atmosphere. To fully understand the dynamics of methane emissions in reservoirs, it is essential to grasp the temporal and vertical distribution patterns, as well as the factors that influence the methanogenic bacterial communities within the sediments. This study investigates the methane dynamics, carbon isotope fractionation (δCH), and abundance of functional microorganisms along the geochemical gradient in the in situ sedimentary column of Hongfeng Reservoir (China).
