Inundated or inundatable croplands, including rice fields

Description (English)

Inundated or inundatable fields used for the cultivation of rice (Oryza sativa) and more rarely for other crops. When not too heavily treated, they may provide substitution habitats for some wetland faunal elements, in particular, birds, including ducks, rails and herons.
