Fig. 2. Season-long CH4 emission from flooded-soil rice culture at 330 and 660 µmol mol-1 CO2 concentrations and 32/23, 35/26, and 38/29°C day–night maximum and minimum air temperatures. Data are daily emission rates averaged over weekly periods.

Fig. 7. Rice root biomass (top panel) and root length density (bottom panel) at 5-cm depth increments sampled at 70 d after planting from a cluster of four plants growing in 20-cm-diameter cylindrical pots in the Soil–Plant–Atmosphere Research (SPAR) chambers at two CO2 concentrations and three temperature regimes. Values for 330 µmol mol-1 in solid bars are plotted over values for 660 µmol mol-1 in hatched bars. Across three samplings during the season, root length density (cm cm-3) at the 0- to 5-cm soil depth = 0.264 + 4.32 x root biomass (g); r2 = 0.99.

Fig. 8. Total seasonal CH4 emissions versus total seasonal photosynthetic CO2 uptake of rice for two CO2 and three temperature treatments. Within each CO2 treatment, the data points increase in magnitude within increasing temperature treatments of 32/23, 35/26, and 38/29°C, respectively.
