Future CH 4 emissions from rice production

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

CH 4 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 CH 4 . Results show that CH 4 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.
