Gross Ecosystem Productivity Dominates the Control of Ecosystem Methane Flux in Rice Paddies

Although rice paddy fields are one of the world’s largest anthropogenic sources of methane CH<sub>4</sub>, the budget of ecosystem CH<sub>4</sub> and its’ controls in rice paddies remain unclear. Here, we analyze seasonal dynamics of direct ecosystem-scale measurements of CH&...

Here, we analyze seasonal dynamics of direct ecosystem-scale measurements of CH<sub>4</sub> flux in a rice-wheat rotation agroecosystem over 3 consecutive years.

In sum, the wheat-rice rotation agroecosystem acted as a large net C sink (averaged 460.79 g C m<sup>−2</sup>) and a GHG (averaged 174.38 g CO<sub>2</sub>eq m<sup>−2</sup>) source except for a GHG sink in one year (2016) with a very high rice seeding density.
