A model for the energy balance of rice fields was improved by using meteorological and
geographical data to simulate the changes in the water temperature resulting from plant …

Extensive conversion of paddy fields to other landuse/landcover types may have adverse
consequences including microclimate change. In this study we assess the effect of …

A water temperature simulation model was developed to estimate the effects of water
management on the thermal environment in rice paddies. The model was based on two …

Water temperature in rice paddies (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important factors
affecting the growth and yield of rice, and also influences CH4 emission from paddy fields …

Rice grain yield and quality are negatively impacted by high temperature stress. Irrigation
water temperature significantly affects rice growth and development, thus influencing yield …

The biogeographical range shift of insect pests is primarily governed by temperature.
However, the range shift of seasonal long-distance migratory insects may be very different …

Seasonal flight activity of Rhyzopertha dominica near grain elevators and in forest habitats
was monitored weekly in central Oklahoma from 2002 to 2005 using Lindgren four-unit …

Water management techniques such as continuous irrigation with running water (CIRW)
have been used by Japanese farmers to control the thermal environment for rice crop**. In …

Irrigating water into a paddy field inevitably changes the water temperature and produces a
temperature distribution in the field. In this study, a numerical model for predicting the …

The rapid growth and expansion of urbanized landscapes in cities has resulted in an
increase in air temperature and has lowered the bioclimatic comfort levels in urban …
