Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate methane production, emission and diffusion under organic matter application in paddy soil (Jeonbug Series). The rates of application of rice straw were 5,000kg/ha in combination with 110kg N/ha as chemical fertilizer. In seasonal variations of the $CH_4$ emission rates two maxima were found during the ear formation stage and the heading stage of the rice plant. Entrapped methane increased dining the early growing season, declined thereafter and especially increased during the heading stage. Methane concentration in the soil solution was the higest at 5cm depth, but decreased with upper and lower depth. The gas diffusion rate of $CH_4$ was very slow in the liquid phase. Eh of soil solution varied from -150~-160mV and methane prodution rate was highly correlated with Eh.

논 토양에서 메탄의 생성과 배출 토양깊이에 따른 토양용액내 메탄 확산 등을 구명코자 미사질 양토인 호남농업시험장 시험포장에서 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 시기별 메탄 flux는 유수형성기 및 출수기에서 높았으며, 유기물을 시용한 구에서는 유기물 무시용구에 보다 배이상이 높았고, 일중 메탄 flux 변화는 야간에 비해 주간에 높았다. 2. 유기물 시용구에서 토양내 메탄 생성량은 생육초기부터 높았으며 분얼기에 감소하였다가 유수형성기 이후 증가하는 경향이었다. 3. 토양용액중 메탄 함량은 토심 5cm에서 가장 높았으며, 메탄의 확산은 매우 느린 경향이었다. 4. 토양 용액중 Eh는 -150~-160mV 범위였으며 메탄 생성과 밀접한 관련이 있었다.
