Optimization and shift: The impact of new farming entities on farmers’ cropland allocation and non-grain crop production decisions in China’s mountainous areas
Addressing the low agricultural production efficiency caused by cropland misallocation is a critical measure for improving the food supply. To achieve agricultural modernization, the development of new farming entities (NFEs) is an important means of optimizing resource allocation. Currently, research on the systematic mechanisms by which the NFEs affect farmers’ cropland allocation and crop production decisions is unclear in mountainous areas. T…

Climate Regulates the Effects of Abrupt Vegetation Shifts on Soil Moisture in the Loess Plateau, China
Abrupt vegetation shifts, defined as an abrupt and irreversible level shift in the intercept (rather than slope) in productivity, indicate transitions of unstable ecosystems to alternative states. Understanding these shifts is critical when monitoring ecosystem productivity because they may reveal drivers and environmental impacts that differ from gradual changes in vegetation. In China's Loess Plateau where sustainable water resource limits are …

Analysis of factors influencing terrace abandonment based on unmanned aerial photography and farmer surveys: A case study in Jianhe, Guizhou
Studying the abandonment status of mountain terraces and its determinants, as well as exploring opportunities for the sustainable use of mountain terraces, are of great significance for the protection of regional cultivated land resources. The present study analysed eight typical villages in Jianhe County, Guizhou Province, China, as examples. A combination of high‐resolution remote sensing images and farm household survey data were used to explo…

Changes in the Water-Energy Coupling Relationship in Grain Production: A Case Study of the North China Plain
Water consumption and energy consumption are inevitable in grain production, but few studies have focused on the integrated assessment of these two indicators and their relationships. To address the research deficiency, taking the North China Plain (NCP) as a case study, this paper quantifies the changes in grain crop planting structure and the accompanying changes in irrigation water consumption (IWC) and energy consumption (EC) in the NCP. On t…

A vital option for food security and greenhouse gases mitigation: Planting elite super rice in double- to single-rice cropping fields in China
Double-rice cropping (DRC) in southern China has made outstanding contributions to ensuring food security, along with a large amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The observed significant shift from double- to single-rice (DtS) cropping since 1990 in southern China has led to great concerns on food security, despite its contribution to GHG emissions reduction. How to ensure food security without compromising the goal of mitigating GHG emissi…

Global understanding of farmland abandonment: A review and prospects
Land abandonment under rural restructuring in China explained from a cost-benefit perspective
China has experienced socio-economic transitions in recent decades, featuring a large amount of rural labor migrating into urban areas. As a response, rural land use has been restructured across large areas. In this process, vast amounts of land have been abandoned due to labor loss, especially in mountainous areas. Understanding how land attributes determine which land parcels are abandoned is essential to sustainable development of rural areas.…
Drivers of cropland abandonment in mountainous areas: A household decision model on farming scale in Southwest China
Cropland abandonment has emerged as a prevalent phenomenon in the mountainous areas of China. While there is a general understanding that this new trend is driven by the rising opportunity cost of rural labor, rigorous theoretical and empirical analyses are largely absent. This paper first develops a theoretical model to investigate household decisions on farming scale when off-farm labor market is accessible and there is heterogeneity of farmlan…

Changes in Agricultural Land Use in China: 1981–2000
Rapid economic development following the 1978 reforms is well reflected in agricultural land use changes in China. By investigating the magnitude of changes in agricultural land use intensity across regions in a geographical perspective, in terms of the intensity indicators defined, explanation for the regional disparity is provided. An important implication is that economic comparative profit drives farmers to increase the intensity level for ag…

Quantifying the effects of settlement size on urban heat islands in fairly uniform geographic areas
City size is closely related to urban heat island intensity (UHII). To examine the relationship more accurately, it is necessary to eliminate the effects of landforms and climatic differences on urban heat islands (UHIs), through selecting settlement clusters in a large plain within a similar biome as the study area. This study selected 1124 land use clusters (cities, towns, and big rural settlements) and demarcated surrounding buffer areas; each…

Does the Green Great Wall effectively decrease dust storm intensity in China? A study based on Noaa NDVI and weather station data
China launched its “Green Great Wall” (GGW) program in 1978. However, the effects of this program are subject to intense debate. This study compares changes in the vegetation index in regions where the GGW program has been implemented with those where it has not. Subsequently, a definition to measure dust storm intensity (DSI) was proposed that better calculates the intensity of dust events; it considers the frequency, visibility, and duration of…

Simulation of Regionally Ecological Land Based on a Cellular Automation Model: A Case Study of Beijing, China
Ecological land is like the "liver" of a city and is very useful to public health. Ecological land change is a spatially dynamic non-linear process under the interaction between natural and anthropogenic factors at different scales. In this study, by setting up natural development scenario, object orientation scenario and ecosystem priority scenario, a Cellular Automation (CA) model has been established to simulate the evolution pattern of ecolog…
