Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the world's most important crops. The crop is grown in at least 114 countries, occupies over 156 million ha of land annually, is a primary source of nutrition for over half the world's human population and constitutes over a fifth of the global grain supply. Rice is generally grown under flooded conditions and, if managed appropriately, can provide important habitat for wetland species. Waterfowl, wading birds, shorebirds and other waterbirds use rice fields, foraging on a variety of prey, nesting in the crop and in fringing vegetation, and staging during migration. Conflicts also exist, with some cropping practices harmful to birds and some bird activity detrimental to yield production. Much early research on waterbirds in rice fields was conducted in Mediterranean Europe with only scattered work elsewhere. More recently, there has been a growing focus on the conservation value of rice fields, with studies from most of the major regions where rice is grown. The body of research has included: community studies of the range of birds that use rice fields, detailed studies of endangered species, behavioral studies of reproductive success, foraging ecology and movement, and applied studies of cropping techniques. As the world's natural wetlands diminish, researchers studying waterbirds in rice fields are working to globalize interactions with each other. Also, some researchers are working closely with conservation groups and rice growers to identify ways to maximize the benefits of agricultural wetlands while minimizing the agronomic costs.

Rice (Oryza sativa) is een van die wêreld se belangrikste gewasse. Die gewas is gegroei in ten minste 114 lande, beslaan meer as 156,000,000 ha van land jaarliks, is 'n primêre bron van voeding vir meer as die helfte van die wêreld se menslike bevolking en vorm oor 'n vyfde van die globale graan supply. Rice is algemeen gegroei onder oorstroom voorwaardes en, indien behoorlik bestuur word, kan belangrike habitat vir vleiland spesies. Watervoëls, waadvoëls, oewervoëlswerwers en ander watervoëls gebruik rys velde, kos soek op 'n verskeidenheid van prooi, nes in die gewas en in rand van plantegroei, en opvoer tydens migrasie. Konflikte bestaan ​​ook, met 'n paar teelt praktyke skadelik vir voëls en sommige voëls aktiwiteit nadelig produksie te lewer. Baie vroeg navorsing oor watervoëls rys velde is in Suid-Europa met slegs verspreide werk elders. Meer onlangs, is daar 'n groeiende fokus op die bewaring waarde van rys velde, met studies van die meeste van die belangrikste streke waar rys verbou word. Die liggaam van die navorsing het die volgende ingesluit: gemeenskap studies van die verskeidenheid van voëls wat gebruik rys velde, gedetailleerde studies van bedreigde spesies, gedrags- studies van reproduktiewe sukses, kos soek ekologie en beweging, en toegepas studies van teelt tegnieke. As die wêreld se natuurlike vleilande verminder, is navorsers bestudeer watervoëls rys velde werk interaksies met mekaar te globaliseer. Ook, sommige navorsers is nou saam met bewaringsgroepe en rys produsente maniere om die voordele van die landbou-vleilande te maksimeer terwyl die vermindering van die agronomiese koste te identifiseer.
