Land use managent
Vegetation can “sequester” or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it for potentially long periods in above- and below-ground biomass, as well as in soils.
Soils, trees, crops, and other plants may make significant contributions to reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by serving as carbon “sinks.”
![Page 16: Land Use Emissions, Rice & Climate Change Yaqiu Li Jiangfeng Wei Yan Zhang Wenyan Yu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c9b5503460f94958e73/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Options for Managing Terrestrial Carbon
Avoid emissions through the conservation of existing carbon stocks in forests and otherecosystems, including in soils (i.e., reducing LULUCF emissions). An example is reducing the rate of deforestation.
Sequester additional carbon in forests and other ecosystems (including in soils), in forest products, and in landfills (i.e., enhancing LULUCF removals). An example is planting trees where there have not been trees in the past (afforestation).
![Page 17: Land Use Emissions, Rice & Climate Change Yaqiu Li Jiangfeng Wei Yan Zhang Wenyan Yu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c9b5503460f94958e73/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Options for Managing Terrestrial Carbon
Substitute renewable biomass fuels for fossil fuels (i.e., fuel substitution), or use biomass products to replace products from other materials such as steel or concrete, that have different, often greater, fossil-fuel requirements in their production and use (i.e., materials substitution).
![Page 18: Land Use Emissions, Rice & Climate Change Yaqiu Li Jiangfeng Wei Yan Zhang Wenyan Yu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c9b5503460f94958e73/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Methane and Rice
1. Methane (CH4) is second important greenhouse gas (GHG).
2. In 100 year period, a molecular CH4 can absorb about 25 times more energy than a molecular CO2.

Methane emission from rice fields

Global estimates of CH4 emission from rice fields
1. The source strength of rice fields in Asia was estimated to range between 46 and 63 million t/yr of methane.
2. Comprising 51% of the global harvested rice area, rice fields in China and India emit 29-40 million t/yr.
3. Global estimates of rice field methane production range up to 100 million t/yr.

The Importance of Rice
One of the world’s most important food crops, staple food for over 50 % people in this world.
To meet the demands of a growing population, agricultural productivity must continue to increase.
If global climate changes act to reduce food production, serious, long-term food shortages and aggravation of societal problems could result.
![Page 34: Land Use Emissions, Rice & Climate Change Yaqiu Li Jiangfeng Wei Yan Zhang Wenyan Yu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c9b5503460f94958e73/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Climate Reasons that affect the
Rice Growing1. Greenhouse Gases and Increased
temperature:
Concentrations of GHGs like CO2 and CH4 have increased significantly since preindustrial times. The concentrations of these gases have a powerful influence on the average global temperature of the planet, and consequently,
on the global climate.
![Page 35: Land Use Emissions, Rice & Climate Change Yaqiu Li Jiangfeng Wei Yan Zhang Wenyan Yu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c9b5503460f94958e73/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
. Rice is the world’s most important food crop and grown mostly in tropical and subtropical countries.
. It is know that UV-B radiation is highest in tropical regions where rice is grown, because the stratospheric ozone layer is high latitude, and the solar angles are higher.
. After preindustrial period, people have release great amount of ozone decomposing matters, like chorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which already induced stratospheric ozone depletion, thus increasing the incoming UV-B.

2. Rice growth and photosynthesis can be suppressed by exposure to UV-B under greenhouse conditions.
3. UV-B can induce the accumulation of UV-absorbing pigments and alter leaf surface characteristics. But, it is unknown whether these responses are sufficient to completely protect rice from increased exposure to UV-B.
4. UV-B can alter plant morphology without reducing plant biomass. These morphological traits, like tillering, is known to influence rice yield, UV-B could potentially alter grain yield without apparent reductions in total production
![Page 41: Land Use Emissions, Rice & Climate Change Yaqiu Li Jiangfeng Wei Yan Zhang Wenyan Yu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c9b5503460f94958e73/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
5. UV-B radiation changing rice productivity related to radiation magnitude and direction. And this character depends on rice cultivar.
6. Results from pilot experiments indicate that UV-B enhancement can significantly increase the susceptibility of rice to blast disease.
7. UV-B enhancement is known to alter the competitive balance between crops and weeds

Global warming — Effects of CO2 and temperature on
rice production
![Page 43: Land Use Emissions, Rice & Climate Change Yaqiu Li Jiangfeng Wei Yan Zhang Wenyan Yu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c9b5503460f94958e73/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Effects of CO2 and temperature on the rice ecosystem
Increasing atmospheric CO2 stimulates plant growth, the beneficial effects on rice growth have been observed for levels only up to 500 ppm. Some plant species respond positively to
CO2 levels up to 1,000 ppm.
The benefits of increased CO2 would be lost if temperatures also rise. That is because increased temperature shortens the period over which rice
grows.

Indirect effects of global climate change on rice
Altered timing and magnitude of precipitation can induce drought or flood injury
Increased temperatures, and/or changes in precipitation could have dramatic impacts on rice diseases and insects.
Enhanced UV-B, enriched CO2 and increased temperatures may all alter competition between rice and major weeds, and the contribution of other organisms to nitrogen fixation in rice fields.

Model results
The results of recent international modeling exercises suggest a mixed future of 2XCO2 for rice production in Asia, with some countries benefiting and others losing production.
Overall, Asian rice production, based on present varieties and systems, could decline by about 4% in the climates of the next century.

Conclusion
Land use change has an influence on green house gas sources and sinks.
Rice paddies are a large source of CH4, an assessment of the agricultural effects of global environmental change must include rice as a crop of primary interest.
While there is some information regarding the single effects of UV-B, CO2, temperature and precipitation on rice, little is know about the interactive effects of these factors.
