Abstract

Rice agriculture is projected to expand by up to 70% over the next 25 years, and is likely to mean much more intensive use of ammonium-based nitrogen fertilizers. That is a worry because rice paddies are one of the main sources of methane (a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere, and increased emissions would be undesirable. It seems, however, that extra ammonium may stimulate soil bacteria that oxidize methane, and so reduce emissions.
