Methane emission by soils results from antagonistic but correlated microbial activities.
Methane is produced in the anaerobic zones of submerged soils by methanogens and is …

Flooded rice systems emit both methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Elevated CH4
emissions in rice systems can lead to a high global warming potential (GWP) relative to …

Global warming is one of the gravest threats to crop production and environmental
sustainability. Rice, the staple food of more than half of the world's population, is the most …

Rice cultivation is an important anthropogenic source of atmospheric methane (CH4), the
emission of which is affected by management practices. Many field measurements have …

The global attention has always been focussed on the adverse environmental impacts of
conventional energy sources. In contrast nonconventional energy sources, particularly the …

There is a great resurgence of interest all over the world in the development of
'small'hydropower systems (SHS). The surge is essentially propelled by the belief that SHS …

Ratoon rice, which refers to the production of a second rice crop from the stubble after the
harvest of the main crop, is considered a green and resource-efficient rice production …

Purpose Directly returning straw back to the paddy field would significantly accelerate
methane (CH 4) emission, although it may conserve and sustain soil productivity. The …

Methane (CH4) emission from Philippine rice paddies was monitored with a closed chamber
technique during the 1992 dry and wet season. CH4 emissions were significantly higher in …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the information available on CH 4 production and
emissions in rice paddy soils and discusses the impact of soil and environmental factors, as …
