TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-year field experiment was conducted to simultaneously measure methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from rice paddies under various agricultural managements including water regime, crop residue incorporation, and synthetic fertilizer application.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of plant residues decomposition on N2O emission was investigated for a period of 21 days using urea and five plant residues with a wide range of C:N ratios from 8 to 118.

TL;DR: In this paper, a biogeochemical model, denitrification-decomposition (DNDC), was modified to enhance its capacity of predicting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from paddy rice ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed field data on N 2 O emission from paddy fields during the rice growing season (71 measurements from 17 field studies) that were published in peer-reviewed Chinese and English journals.

TL;DR: The results show that the stimulatory effect of higher stocking rates on nitrogen cycling and, hence, on N2O emission is more than offset by the effects of a parallel reduction in microbial biomass, inorganic nitrogen production and wintertime water retention.
