中国南京与美国德克萨斯稻田甲烷排放的比较(英文)

稻田甲烷排放试验分别在南京与德克萨斯水稻生长季实施，观测期内测定甲烷排放通量、上壤温度和水稻生物量。结果表明：南京稻田土镶温度的季节性变幅为１５．３℃，甲烷排放通量与土壤温度成非线性正相关而与水稻生物量无关；德克萨斯稻田土壤温度的季节性变幅为的２．９℃，甲烷排放通量与土壤温度无关而与水稻生物量成线性正相关。由此得出结论：在持续淹水和无外源有机碳施加的条件下，土壤温度变幅大的地区驱动稻田甲烷排放季节性变化的关键因子为土壤温度，土壤温度变幅小的地区其关键驱动因子则为水稻的生长量。

Comparison of Field Measurements of CH_4 Emission from Rice Cultivation in Nanjing, China and in Texas, USA

Field measurements of methane emission from rice paddies were made in Nanjing, China and in Texas, USA, respectively. Soil temperature at approximately 10 cm depth of the flooded soils was automatically re- corded. Aboveground biomass of rice crop was measured approximately every 10 days in Nanjing and every other week in Texas. Seasonal variation of soil temperature in Nanjing was quite wide with a magnitude of 15.3 C and that in Texas was narrow with a magnitude of 2.9 C. Analysis of methane emission fluxes against soil temperature and rice biomass production demonstrated that the seasonal course of methane emission in Nanjing was mostly attributed to soil temperature changes, while that in Texas was mainly relat- ed to rice biomass production. We concluded that under the permanent flooding condition, the seasonal trend of methane emission would be determined by the soil temperature where there was a wide variation of soil temperature, and the seasonal trend would be mainly determined by rice biomass production if there are no additional organic matter inputs and the variation of soil temperature over the rice growing season is small.
