Description:
Little is currently known about the response of rice plants to UV-B radiation, enriched CO2, or elevated temperature. ven less is known about the responses of important rice ecosystem components (pests, pathogens, weeds, nitrogen fixation, methanogenesis) to these factors. o accurately determine the qualitative and quantitative nature of these effects will require a number of highly integrated experimental and modeling efforts, rigorous data quality control, and effective coordination of research activities between cooperating groups. o facilitate integration of research activities, this program takes a modified cascading approach with each task building upon the results of other tasks. he research tasks for this program fall into three groups: climate scoping, experimental, and assessment.
