Abstract: The methane production and oxidation potential of different types of soils in the lake-shore zone of Caohai wetland were studied by means of laboratory simulation culture technique. Results showed that the potential of methane production in Caohai wetland surface soil (0~5 cm) was the largest. The order of methane production potential was 10.448 μg/(g·d) of swamp meadow, 3.188 μg/(g·d) of meadow, 0.741 μg/(g·d) of primary swamp, 0.042 μg/(g·d) of cultivated land. The cumulative potential of methane oxidation was 0.155 7 μg/(g·d) of swamp meadow soil, 0.079 6 μg/(g·d) of meadow soil, 0.011 9 μg/(g·d) of cultivated land, 0.003 7 μg/(g·d) of primary swamp soil. With the increase of soil depth, the methane production potential of various types of land decreased obviously. The oxidation potential of all types of soils in Caohai wetland is lower than that in the production potential, which meaned, the soil in the lakeside soil of the Caohai plateau wetland did not have the potential to absorb methane from the atmosphere and reduce the methane in the atmosphere.

Key words: methane, generating potential, oxidation potential, Caohai wetland
