China's paddy rice accounts for about 22% of the world's rice fields, therefore it is crucial to accurately estimate the CH4 emissions at regional scale to gauge their contribution to global greenhouse gas effect. This paper reports an application of a biogeochemical model, DeNitrification and DeComposition or DNDC, for quantifying CH4 emissions from rice fields in Tai-Lake region of China by linking DNDC to a 1:50 000 soil database, which was derived from 1107 paddy soil profiles in the Second National Soil Survey of China in the 1980sā1990s. The modeled results estimate that the 2.34 M ha of paddy rice fields in Tai-Lake region emitted about CH4 of 5.67 Tg C for the period of 1982ā2000, with the average CH4 flux ranged from 114 to 138 kg C ha<sup>−1y<sup>−1. The highest emission rate (659.24 kg C ha<sup>−1 y<sup>−1) occurred in the subgroup of "gleyed paddy soils", while the lowest (90.72 kg C ha<sup>−1y<sup>−1) were associated with the subgroup "degleyed paddy soils". The subgroup "hydromorphic paddy soils" accounted for about 52.82% of the total area of paddy soils, the largest of areas of all the soil subgroups, with the CH4 flux rate of 106.47 kg C ha<sup>−1y<sup>−1. On a sub-regional basis, the annual average CH4 flux in the Tai-Lake plain soil region and alluvial plain soil region was higher than that in low mountainous and hilly soil region and polder soil region. The model simulation was conducted with two databases using polygon or county as the basic unit. The county-based database contained soil information coarser than the polygon system built based on the 1:50 000 soil database. The modeled results with the two databases found similar spatial patterns CH4 emissions in Tai-Lake region. However, discrepancies exist between the results from the two methods, the relative deviation is −42.10% for the entire region, and the relative deviation ranged from −19.53% to 97.30% for most counties, which indicates that the more precise soil database was necessary to better simulate CH4 emissions from rice fields in Tai-Lake region using the DNDC model.
