and the logging of rainforests, water-logged rice paddies are also a major source of global warming-causing methane.''If you step through a rice field, there is a lot of gas bubbling out and the large bulk of that is methane,'' said Reiner Wassmann, a biologist specializing in climate...
on the research,a series of practical strateges to deal with global warming,were put forward to step up rice yield stably.In addition,the problems that exist in recent research were analyzed.The new idea for further studies on global warming and reducting urban heat island effect were proposed...
The impact of projected global warming on crop yields has been evaluated by indirect methods using simulation models. Direct studies on the effects of observed climate change on crop growth and yield could provide more accurate information for assessing the impact of climate change on crop production...
Differences in net global warming potential and greenhouse gas intensity between major rice-based cropping systems in China. Xiong Z Q,Liu Y L,Wu Z,et al. Scientific Reports . 2014Z. Xiong, Y. Liu, Z. Wu, X. Zhang, P. Liu, T. Huang, Differences in net global warming potential and...
Urbanisation and industrialisation have made labour and farmland scarcer. Excessive use ofpesticides,fertiliserandirrigationhave poisoned anddepletedsoils and groundwater. But the biggest reason may be global warming. Rice is particularlysusceptibleto extreme conditions and is often grown in places where th...
A global analysis released by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) on Monday showed that methane and nitrous oxide emissions from rice farms could have the same long-term warming impact as about 600 coal plants. In the short-term, this warming impact could be as much as 1,200 average-sized coal...
Yang and Z.Q. Xiong 摘要: The impact of management practices on the net global warming potential (GWP) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) of rice cropping systems is not well documented. A field experiment was established in 2009 to gain insight into the net ecosystem carbon budget and ...
Global warming potential (GWP), greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI), carbon equivalent emissions (CEE) and grain yield were also estimated. Treatments comprised of direct seeded (broadcasting) (E 1 ), direct seeded (line sowing) (E 2 ), Transplanting (random) (E 3 ), Transplanting (line) (E...
There are aspirations to limit this temperature rise by reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (Hulme, 2016), but current global warming trends are expected to lead to a greater intensity, frequency and severity of droughts (Diffenbaugh et al., 2015, Prudhomme et al., 2014). Higher ...
