                         basin are the large seasonal variation in inundated areas and 
                         habitats, the wide variety of aquatic ecosystems throughout the 
                         Amazon basin, and the variability in methane fluxes in time and 
                         space. Based on available measurements of methane emission and 
                         areal extent, seven types of aquatic systems are considered: 
                         streams and rivers, lakes, seasonally flooded forests, seasonally 
                         flooded savannas and other interfluvial wetlands, herbaceous 
                         plants on riverine floodplains, peatlands, and hydroelectric 
                         reservoirs. We evaluate the adequacy of sampling and of field 
                         methods plus atmospheric measurements, as applied to the Amazon 
                         basin, summarize published fluxes and regional estimates using 
                         bottom-up and top-down approaches, and discuss current 
                         understanding of biogeochemical and physical processes in Amazon 
                         aquatic environments and their incorporation into mechanistic and 
                         statistical models. Recommendations for further study in the 
                         Amazon basin and elsewhere include application of new remote 
                         sensing techniques, increased sampling frequency and duration, 
                         experimental studies to improve understanding of biogeochemical 
                         and physical processes, and development of models appropriate for
