Abstract: The daytime variation in CO2 flux between the intertidal sediment and the atmosphere was great and impacted by environmental elements. This paper analyzed the daytime variation in CO2 flux between the intertidal sediment and the atmosphere and concluded its different rules during the ebb tide and flood tide. During the ebb tide, the CO2 flux rose as the tide ebbed and its rate of change was different when the redox potential changed (0.13umol m-2 s-1 per 100 cm height of the tide at Eh<=300mv, 0.15umol m-2 s-1 per 100 cm height of the tide at 300mv=500mv). During the flood tide, the CO2 flux maintained the largest of the day and almost unchanged with the increase of water level. The average CO2 flux in the flood tide increased with the increase of the redox potential at Eh<=300mv and 300mv=500mv. According to these rules, the daytime CO2 flux can be calculated based on limited measurements well and truly. The fitting straight line equation between the estimated and measured CO2 flux was y= 0.9353x+0.0872(R2 = 0.75, P <0.01).
