Seasonal variation of methane flux from a California rice paddy
Open accessAbstract
To allow increased understanding of the global budget of atmospheric methane, individual methane sources require investigation. We have measured methane emissions from a California rice paddy during the entire 1982 growing season. A very strong seasonal dependence was observed. Methane emissions were highest in the last 2–3 weeks before harvest; daily emissions reached 5 g CH 4/m 2. Over the 100‐day season, daily emissions averaged about 0.25 g CH 4/m 2, higher than our previously reported values. Attempts to estimate global rice paddy emissions must recognize the possibility of seasonal variations. Soil temperature at 10‐cm depth correlated poorly with our measured fluxes; soil redox potential was a more reliable indicator.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
