Large diurnal variations in methane flux from rice paddies have been found in many studies. The cause of the large variations in methane flux was considered to be resulted from changes in methane production rates in the soil and/or the transport capacity of rice plants. To get better information about the mechanism of diurnal variation in methane flux, effects of both methane production and methane transport on the diurnal variation in methane flux were investigated. Methane flux from a rice paddy was continuously measured using a flow-through chamber method for 2 days. Methane concentration in the soil water was also measured every 2-4 hour during the period. Using the data obtained, net methane production rate was calculated from the mass balance of methane in the rice paddy, while the conductance of rice plants for methane transport was calculated by using a diffusion model as the transport capacity of methane. As a result, both the net methane production rate and the conductance of rice plants for methane transport clearly showed large diurnal variations, which were associated with the diurnal change in soil temperature. From the comparison with the diurnal patterns among the methane flux, the methane production rate, the conductance of rice plants and soil temperature, the change in the methane flux is considered to be mostly attributed to the changes in the conductance of rice plants for methane transport depending on the soil temperature.
