Higher nighttime temperatures from global warming are reducing rice yields according to a study conducted from 1992-2003 at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines. The study found that minimum temperatures increased by 1.13°C from 1979-2003 which corresponded to a 10% decline in rice yields for each 1°C increase in minimum temperatures during the growing season. Maximum temperatures did not significantly impact yields. The objectives were to analyze temperature and radiation trends and their effects on rice yields. Weather data was collected from a on-site weather station and rice crop data from experiments using the rice variety IR72. Statistical analyses found that increases in minimum temperatures reduced rice biomass and yields while maximum temperatures did not.
