Equations For Rice Cultivation
Where:
CH4 Rice = annual methane emissions from rice cultivation, Gg CH4 yr-1 EF jk = a daily emission factor for i, j, and k conditions, kg CH4 ha-1 day-1 tj = cultivation period of rice for i, j, and k conditions, day Ajk = annual harvested area of rice for i, j, and k conditions, ha yr-1
i, j, and k = represent different ecosystems, water regimes, type and amount of organic amendments, and other conditions under which CH4 emissions from rice may vary
Equation 5.2 Adjusted daily emission factor
Where:
EFi = adjusted daily emission factor for a particular harvested area
EFc = baseline emission factor for continuously flooded fields without organic amendments
SFw = scaling factor to account for the differences in water regime during the cultivation period (from Table 5.12)
SFp = scaling factor to account for the differences in water regime in the pre-season before the cultivation period (from Table 5.13)
SFo = scaling factor should vary for both type and amount of organic amendment applied (from Equation 5.3 and Table 5.14)
SFsr= scaling factor for soil type, rice cultivar, etc., if available
Equation 5.3
Adjusted CH4 emission scaling factors for organic amendments
SFo = scaling factor for both type and amount of organic amendment applied
ROAi = application rate of organic amendment i, in dry weight for straw and fresh weight for others, tonne ha-1
CFOAi = conversion factor for organic amendment i (in terms of its relative effect with respect to straw applied shortly before cultivation) as shown in Table 5.14.
