CH4 emissions from rice paddies have been estimated to the year 2025. A model based on current rice production per capita values (1989) for the 94 major rice‐producing countries and United Nations population predictions was used to calculate future emission fluxes of CH4. Results show that CH4 emissions from rice paddies are predicted to increase by an average of 1.1% yr−1 from the 1990 level of 97 Tg yr−1 to 145 Tg yr−1 in 2025.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
