By using enclosed static chamber-gas chromatograph techniques, this paper measured the methane fluxes of Cyperus malaccensis tidal wetland in Minjiang River estuary. The diurnal variation of the methane fluxes in summer and winter were in the range of 1.29-2.93 mg x m(-2) x h(-1) and 0.06-0.22 mg x m(-2) x h(-1), respectively. The methane fluxes before flooding, in the process of flooding and ebbing, and after ebbing were 0.11-1.52 mg x m(-2) x h(-1), 0.10-1.05 mg x m(-2) x h(-1), and 0.05-1.70 mg x m(-2) x h(-1), and the monthly averaged fluxes were 0.73, 0.47, and 0.72 mg x m(-2) x h(-1), respectively. The methane fluxes peaked in September and reached the lowest in March, and were significantly lower in the process of flooding and ebbing than before flooding and after ebbing (P < 0.05). The seasonal variation of the methane fluxes was in the order of summer > autumn > spring > winter. Tide was the key factor affecting the diurnal variation of the methane fluxes, while plant growth stage and temperature were the key factors determining the monthly or seasonal variation of the methane fluxes.

Large emissions of CO and CH due to active-layer warming in Arctic tundra.

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.

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.

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.
