TL;DR: It is recommended to transfer early rice straw to uplands considering GWP mitigation, nutrient recycling and labor cost, and the transfer of straw from paddy to upland could decrease GWP by 7602 kg CO2-eqv ha−1 yr−1.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted in a small independent agroforestry watershed in subtropical hilly terrain of China, where surface runoff was measured from cropland, tea garden, citrus orchard, and natural woodland on a slope area.

TL;DR: Results showed that the presence of water layer led to substantial increase in CH4 emissions which were enhanced by straw application, and in-season straw application should be avoided in lowland rice paddies, and straw mulching is practical in rice paddie lack of water.

TL;DR: Overall, this study showed the potential of straw retention to reduce chemical fertilizer use but it increased the GWP by 33.7% and GHGI by 34.8% in double rice systems under continuous flooding regime.

TL;DR: Simulation of duck’s disturbance by stirring and aerating the surface soil in flooded rice fields had limited effects on the reduction of total CH4 emissions, and it is hypothesize that the effect of IRDF onCH4 emissions is related with the intensity of duck bioturbation.
