Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the influence of experimental warming and fertilization on rice yield and paddy methane emissions. Methods: A free-air temperature increase system was used for the experimental warming treatment (ET), while the control treatment used ambient temperature (AC). Each treatment contained two fertilization strategies, (i) normal fertilization with N, P and K fertilizers (CN) and (ii) without N fertilizer input (CK). Results: The yield was remarkably dictated by fertilization ( p < 0.01), but not warming. Its value with CN treatment increased by 76.24% compared to CK. Also, the interactive effect of warming and fertilization on CH 4 emissions was insignificant. The seasonal emissions from warming increased by 36.93% compared to AC, while the values under CN treatment increased by 79.92% compared to CK. Accordingly, the ET-CN treatment obtained the highest CH 4 emissions (178.08 kg ha −1 ), notably higher than the other treatments. Also, the results showed that soil fertility is the main driver affecting CH 4 emissions rather than soil microorganisms. Conclusions: Fertilization aggravates the increasing effect of warming on paddy methane emissions. It is a daunting task to optimize fertilization to ensure yield and reduce methane emissions amid global warming.
