Upland tribal groups are typically found in hilly or mountainous regions, often engaging in agriculture suited to steep terrains, such as terrace farming, and may practice shifting cultivation. In contrast, lowland tribal groups generally inhabit flatter, more fertile areas, relying on rice paddies and other forms of agriculture that benefit from the accessibility of water resources. Cultural practices, social structures, and subsistence strategies also vary, reflecting adaptations to their respective environments. Additionally, upland tribes may have more isolated communities, while lowland tribes often have greater interaction with neighboring populations.
Generally, lowland soils are younger than upland soils due to deposition and erosion processes in low-lying areas. Lowland soils are often formed from recent sediments and are more fertile, while upland soils have had more time to weather and develop, making them older and potentially more nutrient-poor.

If you are talking about Asian rice, it is all the same species, just different varieties. In fact there are 1000's of varieties of rice grown in both upland and lowland systems. Lowland rice is grown in fields that can be flooded and they are either rain-fed or irrigated. Upland rice is grown without flooding usually on hillsides in more mountainous regions. Different countries and regions have their own preferences for varieties of rice.

The six major land regions of Ukraine are the Carpathians, the Crimean Peninsula, the Dnieper Upland, the Black Sea Lowland, the Azov Lowland, and the Volhynia-Podillia Upland. Each region has its own unique geography and contributes to the diverse landscapes of Ukraine.
Germany is the country in Europe that is almost equally divided between a North European Lowland landform in the north and a Central Upland landform in the south. The North German Plain covers the northern part of the country, while the Central Uplands (or Mittelgebirge) region covers the central and southern parts of Germany.
One important feature of the state of Rhode Island is that it is divided in to two regions one is called the New England Upland and the other is called the Coastal Lowland. The coastal lowland is often called the Narragansett Basin.
Lowland fields are typically characterized by flat or gently rolling terrain, often situated near water bodies, which can lead to higher moisture levels and fertile soil, making them ideal for crops like rice. In contrast, upland fields are situated at higher elevations with steeper slopes, often experiencing drier conditions and poorer soil quality, which can limit agricultural practices. The choice of crops in these areas often reflects the environmental conditions, with upland fields favoring drought-resistant species. Both types of fields play crucial roles in their respective ecosystems and agricultural systems.

A tropical upland climate is characterized by cooler temperatures due to higher elevations in tropical regions. This climate typically experiences mild to warm temperatures year-round, with distinct wet and dry seasons. Precipitation is usually higher than in lowland tropical climates.
