Domesticado a partir do Oryza rufipogon silvestre ha aproximadamente 9.000 anos no vale do rio Yangze na China, o cultivo do arroz moldou civilizacoes, paisagens e ecossistemas. Seus campos de arroz inundados criam extensas areas umidas para aves migratoras, anfibios e invertebrados aquaticos, ao mesmo tempo em que produzem significativas emissoes de metano.
