Rice production is a major source of global methane emissions and many studies have been conducted to quantify flux rates of methane alongside N2O emissions from rice fields. The closed chamber method with manual sampling is the conventional approach for determining greenhouse gas (GHG) emission ...

Common practices for manual greenhouse gas sampling in rice production: a literature study on sampling modalities of the closed chamber method
70% of the world’s freshwater is used for irrigated agriculture and demand is expected to increase to meet future food security requirements. In Asia, rice accounts for the largest proportion of irrigated water use and reducing or conserving water in rice systems has been a long standing goal in ...

Climate-Determined Suitability of the Water Saving Technology "Alternate Wetting and Drying" in Rice Systems: A Scalable Methodology demonstrated for a Province in the Philippines
Rapid, precise, and globally comparable methods for monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes are required for accurate GHG inventories from different cropping systems and management practices. Manual gas sampling followed by gas chromatography (GC) is widely used for measuring GHG fluxes in agricul...

As Asia's population continues to grow both in terms of economy and population, food security continues to be an issue of major concern for policy makers. During times of crisis, from topical storms and tsunamis to their ensuing floods, food security is of particular concern, to feed the local po...

Two pot experiments in a “walk-in” growth chamber with controlled day and night temperatures were conducted to investigate the influence of elevated temperatures along with rice straw incorporation on methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions as well as rice yield. Elevated temperature incr...

The ‘alternate wetting and drying’ (AWD) technology for rice is a water-saving technology with a high greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potential. The Philippine government attempts to disseminate AWD in all national irrigation systems in order to adapt to increasingly scarce water resources.

Rice, with its wide geographic distribution extending from 50°N to 35°S, is expected to be the most vulnerable cultivated crop to future changing climates. Among the different abiotic stresses, extreme temperatures coinciding with critical developmental stages, increasingly frequent floods and dr...

Seasonal rainfall in the Philippines is known to be modulated by ENSO phenomenon, with El Niño frequently contributing to reduced rainfall and drought while La Niña resulting in excessive rainfalls, floods and more intense typhoons. The alterations in rainfall patterns can have considerable feedb...

The new GHG calculator named SECTOR (Source-selective and Emission-adjusted GHG CalculaTOR for Cropland) is based on the IPCC Tier 2 approach for rice as well as other crops. The new features of SECTOR facilitate high flexibility in terms of entering newly obtained emission factors, easy data tra...
