| الوصف: |
Production of methane is increasing in rice paddies, especially those that are fertilized. Although methane is less prevalent than carbon dioxide, it traps about 25 times more infrared radiation per molecule. Methane is produced by many factors, including the cutting down and burning of forests and grasslands by farmers (which causes microbes in the soil to alter their activity levels and release methane) and termites, which release enough methane to contribute significantly to the total amount in the atmosphere. In recent years, methane levels in the global atmosphere have increased erratically, sometimes by as much as one percent per year. Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and elsewhere are working to understand these increases and the effects they may have on the planet. |
