Abstract: Of all the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere,methane has assumed considerable significance in recent years due to its impact on the earth's climate and stratospheric ozone chemistry.Natural wetlands are major source of methane,emitting approximately 21% of total global emissions to the atmosphere.In this paper,some questions about methane research were discussed,including measurement methods,factors and temporal and spatial variation of methane emission fluxes from wetlands.Several emission models were introduced briefly and various suggestions for future research were put forward.
