[Influence of environmental factors on CH4 emission from Reed Wetland].

Determination of CH4 emission from reed wetland in Liaohe delta, China using closed chamber(enclosure area 0.64 m2) technique showed that average emission rate of CH4 was 520 micrograms.m-2.h-1 with significant seasonal patterns. When soil redox potential reached -110 mV, CH4 occured and increased with its decrease. CH4 emission was also influenced by water management and reduced with deep water cover. During the period of measurement, there was positive relation between temperature and CH4 flux(R2 = 0.196, n = 21, P < 0.05). In addition, the experimental result also showed that the methanogenic activites in 0-5 cm soil layer were higher and decreased obviously with soil deepening.
