| Summary: | Wet paddy plantation is one of the major natural sources of methane. Methane
is one of a major greenhouse gas which contributes to the global warming. The
strength of methane from paddy field is still not totally certain of. With the increase of
the world population hence increase the need for more quality food, the area for rice
cultivator keep on increasing. The relationship of the increase of methane emission
can be associated with the increase in rice production. This study discuss on the fluxes
of the greenhouse gas from wet paddy plantation as well as the factors that effects its
emissions. This is done through reviewing articles as well as relevant journals or
publications related to this study. Many factors affect the methane emissions from this
paddy field which are organic amendments, the rice cultivators, the type of practice
use culturally, the temperatures of the paddy field, the type of fertilizer that is being
used as well as the type of rice that is being plant. |
