Peat soils act as carbon sink storing huge quantities of carbon
while very high rate of carbon cycling is occurred through rice
cultivation. So, peat soils and rice fields are two important
sources of greenhouse gases where the former is likely to be
subject to change and therefore needs to be studied whilst rice
paddies are also likely to be important sources of greenhouse gas
but have not been well quantified. This research was conducted to
quantify the present fluxes of methane and carbon dioxide from peat
lands and rice soils and also to investigate the controls on gas
production. This research revealed that ex-situ measurements of
greenhouse gas fluxes are reliable enough for uneroded peat but not
in rice soils as they are invalidated by comparison with
concentration ratios of in-situ measurement of greenhouse fluxes.
Although there is no strong relationship between atmospheric
pressure and patterns of greenhouse gas production in peat and rice
soils but the gas production and atmospheric pressure showed
fluctuation during the measurement period.
