Abstract: We firstly introduced the method for determining the net ecosystem exchange fluxes of CO2 (NEE) between croplands and atmosphere, based on field measurements using static opaquechamber/gas chromatography methods was introduced,and the application of this method in the FACE (free-air CO2 enrichment) study to examine the effects of elevated CO2 on the NEEover a typical paddy ecosystem was carried out.because of lacking in observation data for some necessary parameters, e.g., dark maintenance respiration coefficient, only the minimum value of NEE (NEEmin)was calculated based on opaque-chamber measurements.The NEEmin data indicate that CO2 elevated by 200±40μmol·mol-1significantly increased the ecosystem uptake of atmospheric CO2 by a factor ca.3.To accurately determine the NEEbased on opaquechamber measurements, dark maintenance respiration coefficient, above-ground biomass and root:shoot,i.e.R:S,ratio of root to shoot should be observed over the whole growing season.
