The grain production, planted area, and livestock production data were calculated using the converted county-level production per unit area grassland and farmland from the country-level database and the total area of grasslands and farmlands from C...
The magnitude of this change can reach + 22.1% (forest) and -9.2% (farmland) from 2010 until 2100, respectively. We found that the negative impact of climate change on landslide susceptibility is greater than the stabilizing effect of LULC change, leading to an over decrease in stability ...
The remaining cropland area (yellow bar) is approaching the Farmland Red Line (123.44 Mha, the red line). Here cropland gain converting from other land cover types is not considered as these gains usually come from low-quality lands, which should be avoided in the future31. Extended Data ...
In less than a decade, farmland has been overrun by concrete, steel and smokestacks across an area five times the size of Los Angeles. Dongguan, Shenzhen and Guangzhou (formerly Canton) have been transformed into giant industrial zones, linked to Hong Kong, the region's major port, by ...
Biochar has gained significant attention in agricultural and environmental research over the last two decades. This comprehensive review evaluates the effe
Some jurisdictions have “produce and protect compacts” whereby farmers agree to avoid expansion into forests in exchange for assistance to improve yields on existing farmland. “Risk screening” approaches where retailers, manufacturers, and traders distinguish regions or companies deemed “lower risk”...

has already been drained to become farmland. At the present rate the rest will disappear within 20 years10. As a result, natural wetlands account for only 3.8% of China's territory, less than the global level of 6.0%. Wetland function has also declined, with greater water-level fluctuations...
