There is a strong concern that the increasing atmospheric CO₂ concentration (CO₂) and global warming are further stimulating CH₄ emissions, but the magnitude of this stimulation varies substantially by study, and few open-field evaluations have been conducted. Here we report results obtained at a Japanese rice free-air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) site under water and soil temperature elevation during two growing seasons. Our objectives were to evaluate the effects of high CO₂ (ambient + 200 μmol mol⁻¹) and elevated soil temperature (+ 2 °C) on CH₄ emissions under completely open-field conditions. We found about 80\% enhancement in total seasonal emissions by the additive effects of FACE and warming, indicating a strong positive feedback effect of global warming. The enhancement in CH₄ emission from the FACE-effect alone (+ 26\%) was statistically non-significant (<i>P</i> = 0.19). Nevertheless, observed positive correlations between CH₄ emissions and rice biomass agreed well with previous studies, suggesting that higher photosynthesis led to greater rhizodeposition, which then acted as substrates for methanogenesis. Soil warming increased the emission by 44\% (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.001), which was equivalent to a <i>Q</i>₁₀ of 5.5. Increased rice biomass by warming could only partly explain the enhanced CH₄ emissions, but stoichiometric analysis of the electron budget indicated that even a moderate enhancement in organic matter decomposition due to soil warming can cause a large increase in CH₄ production under conditions where Fe(III) reduction, which was little affected by soil warming, dominates electron-accepting processes. At later rice growth stages, advanced root senescence due to elevated temperature probably provided more substrate for methanogenesis. Our stoichiometric evaluation showed that in situ Fe reduction characteristics and root turnover in response to elevated temperature should be understood to correctly predict future CH₄ emissions from paddy fields under a changing climate. Challenges remain for determination of in situ root-exudation rate and its response to FACE and warming.
