Description
Methane emissions from rice fields in China are found to be 4-10 times higher than emission rates from rice fields in the United States and Europe. Average emission rates during the growing season were ∼60 mg m-2 h-1 from rice fields at TuZu in the Sczhuan Province of China. These results show that rice fields are a major source of methane to the atmosphere
