Global rice methane emissions tripled over six decades amid declining emission intensity
ABSTRACT Rice paddies are among the largest anthropogenic sources of methane (CH4), yet substantial uncertainties persist in the long-term magnitude and spatiotemporal dynamics of the emissions. Here, we show a spatially explicit global estimate of rice CH4 emissions from 1961 to 2020, leveraging a new high-resolution...
