Abstract: CH4 and N2O fluxes from late-rice fileds in Guangzhou region were measured simultaneously by closed chamber method.The results show that the mean CH4 fluxes are respectively 17.63,2.84 and 0.36mg·m-2·h-1 from the treatments of continuous flooding ,routine succession cropping and rice-vegetabele rotation,and the mean N2O fluxes are 6.74,11.69 and 55.07 μg N2O-N·m-2·h-1 correspondingly,which indicates that continuous floodin can greatly increase CH4 emission,while sinnificantly reduce N2O emission.Rice vegetable rotation is the reverse.There exists a trade off between CH4 and N2O emission.The factors affectin CH4 and N2O emssion are discussed,and the contribution of CH4 and N2O to global warming is preliminarily alalysed.
