Methane (CH4) emission from constructed wetland has raised environmental concern. This study evaluated the influence of mono and polyculture constructed wetland and seasonal variation on CH4 fluxes. Methane emission data showed large temporal variation ranging from 0 to 249.29 mg CH4 m−2 h−1. Results indicated that the highest CH4 flux was obtained in the polyculture system, planted with Phragmites australis, Zizania latifolia and Typha latifolia, reflecting polyculture system could stimulate CH4 emission. FISH analysis showed the higher amount of methanotrophs in the profile of Z. latifolia in both mono and polyculture systems. The highest methanogens amount and relatively lower methanotrophs amount in the profile of polyculture system were obtained. The results support the characteristics of CH4 fluxes. The polyculture constructed wetland has the higher potential of global warming.
