Question

Which agricultural practice prevents oxygen from reaching the soil, allowing soil bacteria to produce methane?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

The agricultural practice that prevents oxygen from reaching the soil, allowing soil bacteria to produce methane is called "rice cultivation." In flooded rice paddies, the lack of oxygen creates an anaerobic environment that promotes the growth of methane-producing bacteria. This is why rice cultivation is considered a significant source of methane emissions, which is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
