Reduced dependence of Crested Ibis on winter-flooded rice fields: implications for their conservation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon was once thought to be extinct in the wild until seven birds were discovered in a remote mountain village in China in 1981.

Combined Impacts of Nitrogen Forms, Rice Husk Biochar, and Water Regime on Purple Rice Yield and Grain Quality [PDF]
BiologyPurple rice contains beneficial bioactive compounds, but the concentrations can be influenced by the growing conditions. This study investigated the interactive effects of water regime, biochar amendment, and nitrogen (N) sources on the yield and grain ...

Microbiota in non-flooded and flooded rice culms
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2019 Rice plants are the habitat for large and diverse populations of microbes, which play important roles on rice health and productivity. However, the response of microbiome on rice culm to water flooding is poorly understood. In this study, the bacterial community on non-flooded (RSA) and flooded (RSB) rice culms was investigated through 16S rRNA gene ...

Seasonal dynamics of bacterial and archaeal methanogenic communities in flooded rice fields and effect of drainage [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 We studied the resident (16S rDNA) and the active (16S rRNA) members of soil archaeal and bacterial communities during rice plant development by sampling three growth stages (vegetative, reproductive and maturity) under field conditions.

Mapping Flooded Rice Paddies Using Time Series of MODIS Imagery in the Krishna River Basin, India
Remote Sensing, 2015 Rice is one of the major crops cultivated predominantly in flooded paddies, thus a large amount of water is consumed during its growing season. Accurate paddy rice maps are therefore important inputs for improved estimates of actual evapotranspiration in

Microbiology of flooded rice paddies [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2000 Flooded rice paddies are one of the major biogenic sources of atmospheric methane. Apart from this contribution to the 'greenhouse' effect, rice paddy soil represents a suitable model system to study fundamental aspects of microbial ecology, such as diversity, structure, and dynamics of microbial communities as well as structure-function relationships ...
