Classification

 Return
  1. Object
    1. rice paddy = land specially prepared for rice (Oryza sativa) production, including dikes for water management, but sometimes with other crops than rice all year.
    2. generic rooted emergent aquatic crops =Examples: Jiaobai (Zizania aquatica), Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), sometimes Taro (Colocasia esculenta), Old World Arrowhead (Pinyin = Cigu; Sagittaria sagittifolia).
  2. Modifier 1 (management system)
    1. rice paddy
      1. not used for transplants every year
      2. used for transplants every year = transplanting area used every year: this area is usually fallow in winter, and submerged earlier in the year.
      3. submerged and fallow in winter = “winter paddy”: paddy dammed and used to accumulate water for growing season; fallow and submerged during winter.

Key

 Return
  1. rice paddy
    1. not used for transplants every year = ri01
    2. used for transplants every year = ri02
    3. submerged and fallow in winter = ri03
  2. generic rooted emergent aquatic crops = ri04

Dominance Rules

 Return
  1. IF area of rice paddy TYPES within feature are nearly equal THEN = ri01
  2. IF same plot is BOTH used for transplants every year (ri02) AND submerged and fallow in winter (ri03), THEN choose = ri03
