Trees and vegetation have to be cleared first when establishing paddy fields. If the land is hilly, then the landscape is terraced (like a series of steps) as paddy fields have to be flooded with water. Each field is dug out and earth is used to build dykes around the edges.
Rice paddy fields are a substantial contributor of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, as organic matter decomposes anaerobicly under the water.
So paddy fields do change the environment in several ways.
Ithink it's Poaceae or something else.......From Peng1349
Rice is typically grown in flooded or saturated soil conditions, known as paddy fields, that provide the necessary water and nutrients for the rice plants to grow. The soil is usually clayey or loamy with good water retention capabilities. It is important for the soil to be well-drained to prevent waterlogging.
Paddy rice grows best in loamy soil that is well-drained and has good water retention properties. Sandy soil can also be a good option for paddy cultivation as long as there is a reliable source of irrigation. The soil should be rich in nutrients and have a slightly acidic pH level for optimal growth of paddy rice.
Paddy grows well on clayey soil because clay has good water and nutrient retention capabilities, which are essential for the cultivation of rice. The clayey soil holds water for a longer period, providing a suitable environment for the paddy plants to thrive. Additionally, the compact nature of clayey soil provides good support for the rice plants' roots.
Carbon dioxide is the most serious problem, released whenever we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).Methane is also a greenhouse gas, in that it will trap heat in the atmosphere, released by cattle, rice paddy fields and melting lakes and tundra.

Rice fields, here in Asia we sometimes use Paddy instead of rice when talking about growing the crop

Rice is grown in paddies, or paddy fields.
Rice is grown in waterlogged paddy fields. I doubt if any other food crop would be grown after the rice has been harvested.
A paddy field is a flooded parcel of arable land used for growing rice and other semiaquatic crops. Rice can also be grown in dry-fields, but from the twentieth century paddy field agriculture became the dominant form of growing rice.
The gas created from paddy fields that can cause an increase in Earth's temperature is methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. It is produced during the decomposition of organic matter in flooded rice paddies.
