Abstract: Methane (CH4) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission pathways in summer were quantified during a 48 hours online survey of a subtropical shallow pond in Yichang, China. We separated the diel bubble and diffusion gas fluxes measured by the DLT-100 Analyzer (Los Gatos Research, USA) thanks to its high sampling frequency. The total emission fluxes of CH4 and CO2 were 595.2 mg/(m2·d) and 1450.8 mg/(m2·d) respectively. Bubble emissions of CH4 and CO2 accounted for 99.7% of the total CH4 emission and only 3.0% of the total CO2 from the pond. Bubble emissions are highly time-variable in the observation period, with the biggest CH4 bubbling rate of 424.28 mg/(m2·h), accounting for 35.75% of the two days’ total bubbling CH4 emissions, but ebullition CH4 flux was mainly located at <20 mg/(m2·h). The maximums of the diel diffusion CH4 and CO2 flux were 6.0 and 6.5 times of the responding minimums respectively.
