Reply to Yan and Akiyama: Nitrous oxide emissions from rice and their mitigation potential depend on the nature of intermittent flooding [Biological Sciences]

Our fundamental message (1) is that under intense forms of intermittent flooding—a technique used to reduce methane emissions from rice farms (2)—emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a long-term climate forcer (Fig. 1), can be very high. Fig. 1. General understanding of climate impacts of rice farms under continuous flooding or...
