Cover Story: Flooded rice is a major agricultural source of atmospheric pollution, with the majority of N2O emissions attributed to fertilization management. Most soil phosphorus is not available to plants, requiring phosphorus fertilizers to optimize crop yields. Struvite, as a potential alternative phosphorus fertilizer source, has been applied to crop production, but its impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the potential impact of GHG emissions from flooded-irrigation rice using various struvite phosphorus sources on the environment and climate change, and to verify the potential of wastewater-recycled struvite to reduce GHG emissions in rice production systems.
