Heat waves induced by climate warming have become common in food-producing regions
worldwide, frequently coinciding with high temperature (HT)-sensitive stages of many crops …

The seasonal and annual variability of sensible heat flux (H), latent heat flux (LE),
evapotranspiration (ET), crop coefficient (K c) and crop water productivity (WP ET) were …

Drought affected rice areas are predicted to double by the end of this century, demanding
greater tolerance in widely adapted mega-varieties. Progress on incorporating better …

Aerobic culture is a water-saving technique for direct-seeded rice cultivation. Growing rice
under continuously unsaturated soil conditions can maximize water-use efficiency and …

The lack of a standardized database of eddy covariance observations has been an obstacle
for data‐driven estimation of terrestrial CO2 fluxes in Asia. In this study, we developed such …

The newly developed LI-7700 open-path methane analyzer was used to measure methane
(CH 4) fluxes from irrigated rice fields using the eddy covariance technique. The diurnal and …

In lieu of the decreasing availability of water for irrigated rice, we examined two alternatives
to traditional rice cultivation on puddled and saturated soil–maize and dry-seeded rice …

Rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration ([CO 2]) enhances photosynthesis and reduces
transpiration at the leaf, ecosystem, and global scale via the CO 2 fertilization effect. The CO …

A yearlong field study was undertaken to investigate the carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane
(CH 4) exchange in relation to ecosystem carbon (C) balance in tropical low land rice by …

Rice is a staple food crop that provides more calories to the global population than any other
crop. Rice production is also a major consumer of fresh-water resources. Hence, changes in …
