Abstract: The advances in the research of methane emission from rice paddies and related soil properties and environmental factors are reviewed. It is pointed out that any strategy to be employed for reducing methane emission from rice paddies should not cause reduction of rice yield and increase of other greenhouse gas emissions. During drought conditions, the role of rice paddies acting as methane sink should be estimated.

Key words: methane, rice paddies, research advance
