DOI: 10.1007/s00226-017-0918-5
Abstract: Spruce wood specimens were heat-treated in saturated water vapor (steaming) and in the absence of moisture (dry heating) at 120–180 °C, and their wet volumes were measured during alternate wetting and drying cycles. After the first… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10333-019-00753-y
Abstract: Evapotranspiration from paddy fields under alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation was measured using lysimeters (ETL) and eddy covariance (ETec) during the late 2016 and early 2017 rice seasons. Four energy balance closing methods were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-020-01237-3
Abstract: Rice farmers in Southeast Asia are hesitant to adopt the water-saving technology, alternate wetting and drying (AWD), for fear the practice will lead to increased rodent pest activity, consequently exacerbating yield loss. We examined the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.8b05535
Abstract: Rice cultivation contributes 11% of the global 308 Tg CH4 anthropogenic emissions. The alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation practice can conserve water while reducing CH4 emissions through the deliberate, periodic introduction of aerobic soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00380768.2019.1579615
Abstract: ABSTRACT Combination of a pre-season wet soil condition and rice straw incorporation just before transplanting, which is typical for a tropical rice double cropping, can induce a flash of methane (CH4) emission shortly after the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.927229
Abstract: Optimizing nitrogen (N) fertilization without sacrificing grain yield is a major concern of rice production system because most of the applied N has been depleted from the soil and creating environmental consequences. Hence, limited information… read more here.
