Main factors affecting soil-borne methane oxidation and measurements for reducing CH₄ flux

Soil-borne methane(CH₄) oxidation is affected by factors such as soil physic-chemical characters,temperature,fertilizer type and amount,crop varieties and their growth, kinds and concentration of heavy metals ions,and so on.These factors exert action through influencing CH₄ oxidation bacteria, types, amount, activity and distribution models. The measurements for reducing CH₄ flux are to apply organic manure and matter, control field moisture, apply mineral fertilizer and evolve rice varieties with high yield.
