CO2 fluxes from paddy ecosystem in subtropical hilly region were measured continuously using eddy covariance technique. Based on data rejecting, correcting and filling, the daily and annual CO2 fluxes were calculated from the instantaneous values, respectively. The objectives were to investigate the variation of CO2 fluxes on seasonal temporal scale, analyze the relationship between CO2 fluxes and environmental factors, and to quantify the annual net ecosystem exchange (NEE) from the paddy ecosystem. Results show the values of GPP, R(eco) and NEE are higher from Jun. to Sep. and lower in the other months. The NEE from May to Sep. accounted for above 80% of the annual value and is crucial to the whole annual value. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and mean daily air temperature (T(a)) were two main influential factors for controlling the seasonal trend of GPP and NEE and could be described by binary linear functions, respectively. The annual NEE in paddy ecosystem was 2 475.6 g/(m2 x a). This is showed that paddy ecosystem was a carbon sink for the atmosphere in subtropical region.

Ocean acidification (OA) and global warming (GW) drive a variety of responses in seagrasses that may modify their carbon metabolism, including the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) fluxes and the organic carbon stocks in upper sediments. In a 45-day full-factorial mesocosm experiment simulating forecasted CO and temperature increase in a Cymodocea nodosa community, we found that net community production (NCP) was higher under OA conditions, particularly when combined with warming (i.e.

Climate warming may accelerate decomposition of Arctic soil carbon, but few controlled experiments have manipulated the entire active layer. To determine surface-atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide and methane under anticipated end-of-century warming, here we used heating rods to warm (by 3.8 °C) to the depth of permafrost in polygonal tundra in Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska and measured fluxes over two growing seasons.

Microbially mediated anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) regulates methane (CH) fluxes. Increases in the global atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO) concentration and iron oxide rich in paddy soils influence AOM. However, the response and mechanisms between these two processes and AOM remain unclear.

However, the simultaneous removal of pollutants and reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from high-strength wastewater containing high levels of organic matter and ammonium nitrogen (NH-N) has not get been investigated. The influent COD concentration affected the efficiency of nitrogen removal, GHG emissions and the presence of iron from iron ore, but the COD and TP removal efficiencies remained unaffected.

Aims: Peat is used as a major ingredient of growing media in horticulture. Peat extracted from bogs can be acidic and low in nutrient availability and is therefore mixed with liming agents, nutrients, surfactants, perlite and so on. This study aims to estimate the rates at which raw peat and the modified peat ('growing media') decompose to release carbon dioxide (CO), to estimate the release of carbon (C) from liming agents and to estimate how peat biogeochemistry is changed.
