Abstract

In order to accurately estimate the effects of tidal scenarios on the CH 4 emission from tidal wetlands, we examined the CH 4 effluxes, dissolved CH 4 concentrations, and environmental factors (including in situ pH, Eh and electrical conductivity, porewater SO 4 2− , NO 3 − , and NH 4 + ) during inundation and air-exposure periods in high- and low-tide seasons in the Min River Estuary in southeast China. By applying static and floating chambers, our results showed that the CH 4 effluxes during the inundation periods were relatively constant and generally lower than those during the air-exposed periods in both seasons. When compared, the CH 4 effluxes during the air-exposed periods were significantly higher in the high-tide season than those in the low-tide season. In contrast, CH 4 effluxes during the inundation periods were significantly lower in the high-tide season than those in the low-tide season. During the inundation periods, dissolved CH 4 concentrations were inversely proportional to in situ Eh. Under air-exposed conditions, CH 4 effluxes were proportional to in situ pH in both seasons, while the dissolved CH 4 concentrations were negatively correlated with the porewater SO 4 2− concentrations in both seasons. Our results highlighted that CH 4 effluxes were more dynamic between inundation and air-exposure periods compared to low- and high-tide seasons.
