Methane emissions from rice cultivation are known to be highly seasonal. From the many publications<br />

on this subject we present a few graphs in which the seasonality is presented and compared from a<br />

number of model studies. In Figure A.2.9 the seasonality in emissions from three world regions is<br />

presented as modelled by Cao HWDO (1996). Apparently, the seasonality is the strongest in the northern<br />

regions. In the north 75% of annual CH 4 from rice paddies is emitted between June and October, whereas<br />

in the south 90% was emitted between November and March; in the near-equator region emission show<br />

much less seasonality (Cao HWDO., 1996). In Figure A2.10 the results of Cao are compared with results<br />

presented by Asselmann and Crutzen. Both seasonal variation patterns look rather similar. Finally, in<br />

Figure A.2.11 the seasonal variation of CH 4 emissions from rice paddies in China is presented for<br />

different latitudes.<br />
