Increased greenhouse-gas intensity of rice production under future atmospheric conditions [1]

Increased atmospheric CO2 and rising temperatures are expected to affect rice yields and greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from rice paddies. This is important, because rice cultivation is one of the largest human-induced sources of the potent GHG methane (CH4) and rice is the world’s second-most produced staple crop.
