Methane emissions from rice fields in China are found to be 4-10 times higher than emission rates from rice fields in the United States and Europe. Average emission rates during the growing season were {approximately}60 mg m{sup {minus}2} h{sup {minus}1} from rice fields at TuZu in the Sczhuan Province of China. These results show that rice fields are a major source of methane to the atmosphere.
