Predicting potential cultivation region and paddy area for ratoon rice production in China using Maxent model

Xing Yu et al.

Summary: Ratoon rice (RR) is more efficient and sustainable than single-season rice (SR) and double-season rice (DR), with enormous potential to expand its cultivation area in China for increasing rice production. The suitable cultivation region and paddy area for RR were estimated using the Maxent model, showing significant differences in potential areas compared to DR, indicating opportunities for growth in RR cultivation without reducing current DR planting area.

An improved approach to estimate ratoon rice aboveground biomass by integrating UAV-based spectral, textural and structural features

Le Xu et al.

Summary: Ratoon rice production is an emerging cropping system globally to enhance food quality and productivity. The combination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing with spectral, textural, and structural features provides an efficient method to monitor ratoon rice aboveground biomass (AGB), which is crucial for precision agriculture.

Conversion from double-season rice to ratoon rice paddy fields reduces carbon footprint and enhances net ecosystem economic benefit

Ying Xu et al.

Summary: The study found that the RR system had a lower annual CF than the DR system, with the main contribution coming from the ratoon crop in RR. Conversion to the RR system significantly increased annual NEEB, with higher main crop yield and lower costs.

Spatiotemporal changes in greenhouse gas emissions and soil organic carbon sequestration for major cropping systems across China and their drivers over the past two decades

Yicheng Wang et al.

Summary: Chinese agriculture has undergone significant changes in the past few decades, affecting greenhouse gas emissions and soil organic carbon sequestration in croplands. Paddy lands mainly contribute to carbon emissions due to methane emissions, while uplands could serve as carbon sinks because of soil organic carbon sequestration. Nationally, changes in crop planting area and yields have reduced net greenhouse gas emissions, while changes in nitrogen use efficiency and cropping systems have increased them.

Ecological rice-cropping systems mitigate global warming-A meta-analysis

Geng Sun et al.

Summary: This study conducted a comprehensive evaluation of three typical ecological rice-cropping systems, finding that they significantly reduce methane emissions while increasing nitrous oxide emissions compared to traditional systems. They also have slightly lower global warming potential, rice yield, and greenhouse gas intensity values. The rice-crayfish and rice-duck modes alleviate global warming potential, while the rice-fish mode enhances it. Additionally, the systems significantly impact various environmental factors and are considered effective green technologies.

Comparisons between main and ratoon crops in resource use efficiencies, environmental impacts, and economic profits of rice ratooning system in central China

Xing Yu et al.

Summary: Ratoon rice has lower grain yield compared to main crop rice, but it has lower total energy input and production cost, higher energy use efficiency, better economic return, and higher labor and water productivity. Additionally, ratoon rice has less environmental impact in terms of global warming potential and yield-scaled GWP due to lower agronomic inputs and GHGs emissions.

Mohsen Jamali et al.

Summary: The study in Southern Iran investigated the energy flow and greenhouse gas emissions in wheat agroecosystems under different irrigation systems. Results showed that environment and irrigation system significantly influenced energy input, output, and emissions. Pressurized irrigation systems were found to be more energy efficient and environment-friendly compared to traditional practices.

Integrated farming with intercropping increases food production while reducing environmental footprint

Qiang Chai et al.

Summary: The integrated cropping system discussed in the study showed significant synergies in increasing crop yields, farm net returns, and decreasing environmental impact compared to traditional monoculture cropping. This demonstrates the potential for smallholder farmers to achieve dual goals of increasing food production and reducing environmental footprint through adopting integrated farming systems.
