The spatial and temporal change of cropland in the Scandinavian Peninsula during 1875–1999

Land use and land cover change (LUCC) has emerged as an important issue of global change with significant influences on the geochemical cycle and regional climate change. Understanding the historical changes of land use and analyzing the environmental effects of LUCC make such reconstructions important. Based on historical statistics, this article reconstructs cropland area at the municipality level (härad/kommun) in the Scandinavian Peninsula during 1875–1999. The total acreage of cropland increased 36.84 % during 1875–1930, kept stable during 1930–1950, and decreased 14.25 % during 1950–1999. The croplands of Sweden and Norway both increased before 1950 and changed in different ways during 1950–1999 when the cropland decreased by 19.79 % in Sweden but increased by 9.63 % in Norway. The counties in the south Scandinavian Peninsula owned most of the cropland, with a cropland proportion of over 20 %, and experienced relatively obvious cropland changes. Growth centers with a rate of increase of over 5 % during 1875–1910 were found in Skåne, Stockholm, the Uppsala counties in Sweden, and the area around Oslo county in Norway. The general cropland distribution showed almost no change during this period, which mainly reflects the suitability of the natural conditions for agriculture. Multi-social factors co-impacted land use activities and induced temporal and spatial variations of the cropland. These factors included food supply, world trade, wars, agriculture policies, the economic and political environment, urbanization, and national differences. Compared with the widely used global land use dataset Historical Database of the Global Environment (HYDE), this study shows different cropland change curves before 1950. This article is a case study showing that the hindcasting model of the HYDE dataset has difficulty estimating multi-determined cropland change in the Scandinavian Peninsula, and the empirical study contributes to the improvement of the accuracy of historical land use data at the regional level.     

三峡库区不同退耕还林模式水土流失特征及其影响因子

三峡库区为国家水土保持重点防治区,土地利用/覆盖变化（LUCC）与水土流失的关系已成为水土流失治理研究的关注重点之一,退耕还林工程的水土保持效益对于库区生态环境的建设具有重要意义。通过对库区典型退耕还林模式的水土流失的监测,分析其不同降雨条件下水土流失特征及影响因子,结果标明：（1）退耕还林后库区的水土流失问题得到了有效控制,退耕还林后各土地利用类型的年地表径流量下降了70%~95%,泥沙流失量则比农田降低了97%以上,其中乔木林和竹林对水土保持的效果最为理想;（2）退耕还林后各土地利用类型年地表径流量与降雨量呈较好的指数关系,随着降雨量的增加而增加。除农田和板栗林外,各土地利用类型年地表径流量与雨强关系不显著;（3）泥沙流失量与降雨量和降雨强度的关系均不显著;（4）各土地利用类型地表径流的80%以上,泥沙流失量的95%以上都是发生在暴雨条件下,暴雨事件成为库区水土流失的主要气候影响因素;（5）凋落物层盖度是控制退耕还林各模式地表径流的主要因素,各土地利用类型的年地表径流量均随着凋落物层盖度的增加而显著降低     

Land use change in Southern Romania after the collapse of socialism

The drastic socio-economic and political changes that occurred after the breakdown of socialism in Eastern Europe triggered widespread land use change, including cropland abandonment and forest cover changes. Yet the rates and spatial patterns of post-socialist land use change remain largely unclear. We used Landsat TM/ETM+ images to classify land cover maps and assess landscape pattern changes from 1990 to 2005 in Argeş County, Southern Romania. Cropland abandonment was the most widespread change (21.1% abandonment rate), likely due to declining returns from farming, tenure insecurity, and demographic developments during transition. Forest cover and forest fragmentation remained remarkably stable during transition, despite widespread ownership transfers. Cropland abandonment provides opportunities for increased carbon sequestration, but threatens cultural landscapes and biodiversity. Continued monitoring is important for assessing whether abandoned croplands will eventually reforest or be put back into production and to better understand the consequences of post-socialist land use change for ecosystems and biodiversity.     

基于土地利用的三峡库区生态系统服务价值时空格局分析

生态服务价值评估是对生态功能的一种经济性量化评价。以三峡库区为研究区,结合净初级生产力(NPP)、土地利用/土地覆盖变化(LUCC)、遥感(RS)、气候、国家统计数据和GIS技术,采用替代花费法、影子工程法、碳税法、市场价值法和水量平衡法对三峡库区蓄水前后4个时期(2000、2005、2010和2015年)的生态系统服务价值进行量化评估,分析库区生态系统服务价值时空变异格局。结果显示:(1)从2000年到2015年,三峡库区生态服务总价值增加了269.37亿元,增长率为15.32%。(2)其中林地生态系统贡献较高,占48.14%,耕地次之,占44.04%。(3)林地生态系统服务价值随其面积的增长而增加。耕地生态系统面积减少了4.64%,但生态系统服务总价值却增加了14.54%,耕地存在不合理利用的现象。草地生态系统面积减少了16.57%,生态系统服务总价值减少了5.01%,应加强对草地生态系统的保护。总之,三峡工程的实施在整个研究区尺度上对库区生态系统服务功能的影响是利大于弊。在未来的发展中,应合理规划土地利用,制定区域发展和环境保护计划,确保三峡库区生态环境的改善和可持续发展。

Abstract

Land degradation is one of the serious environmental problems that can lead to poverty, and is especially prominent in eco-fragile areas in developing countries and increases the risk of environmental safety. North Hebei Province belongs to an ecologically fragile region in North China, which has great impact on the eco-safety of Beijing and Tianjin. Using Landsat TM data and GIS, this paper evaluates land degradation in North Hebei province of China from the the 1960's to 1987 and 2000. Land use/cover change pattern from 1987 to 2000, its regional difference and forest change characteristics will also be analyzed; soil erosion intensity and arable land suitability were also evaluated. Results revealed that land use/cover pattern in this study area did not change greatly from 1987 to 2000. The structure and function of regional land ecosystem was at a level of local improvement and integral deterioration. Land above medium soil erosion intensity reached 21 percent, which was also the area with a serious soil erosion and land degradation problem. Soil erosion and land degradation intensity of grassland was the biggest. For the present arable land, the proportion of high suitability was 13 percent.     

Land Degradation Evaluation in North Hebei Province Based on Remote Sensing and GIS

Land degradation is one of the serious environmental problems that can lead to poverty, and is especially prominent in eco-fragile areas in developing countries and increases the risk of environmental safety. North Hebei Province belongs to an ecologically fragile region in North China, which has great impact on the eco-safety of Beijing and Tianjin. Using Landsat TM data and GIS, this paper evaluates land degradation in North Hebei province of China from the the 1960＇s to 1987 and 2000. Land use/cover change pattern from 1987 to 2000, its regional difference and forest change characteristics will also be analyzed; soil erosion intensity and arable land suitability were also evaluated. Results revealed that land use/cover pattern in this study area did not change greatly from 1987 to 2000. The structure and function of regional land ecosystem was at a level of local improvement and integral deterioration. Land above medium soil erosion intensity reached 21 percent, which was also the area with a serious soil erosion and land degradation problem. Soil erosion and land degradation intensity of grassland was the biggest. For the present arable land, the proportion of high suitability was 13 percent.     

Soil Erosion: A Food and Environmental Threat

Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental and public health problems facing human society. Humans obtain more than 99.7% of their food (calories) from the land and less than 0.3% from the oceans and other aquatic ecosystems. Each year about 10 million ha of cropland are lost due to soil erosion, thus reducing the cropland available for food production. The loss of cropland is a serious problem because the World Health Organization reports that more than 3.7 billion people are malnourished in the world. Overall soil is being lost from land areas 10 to 40 times faster than the rate of soil renewal imperiling future human food security and environmental quality.     

汉江流域土地利用/覆被变化的水文效应模拟研究

针对流域LUCC驱动因子众多、驱动因子与土地利用/覆被变化之间存在复杂的非线性动态关系的特点,以汉江上游流域LUCC模拟为例,构建基于人工神经网络（ANN）与元胞自动机（CA）的模拟土地利用/覆被变化的CA ANN耦合模型,并应用该模型预测汉江上游流域2020s年代的LUCC变化情景。结果表明：2020s汉江黄家港站上游流域水田、旱地、灌木林与建设用地面积均有不同程度的增加,其中建设用地增幅最大,与区域交通和城市化的迅猛发展趋势相符;除建设用地增幅变化较大之外,1980s～2000s与2000s～2020s两个时期其余土地利用/覆盖类型的面积变化率都比较相近,表明CA ANN耦合模型能够刻画土地利用/覆盖类型的转换规律,在流域土地利用/覆被变化的复杂非线性动态演变情景的模拟预测方面是可行的。在此基础上,应用SWAT分布式水文模型模拟汉江上游流域水文过程。研究结果表明：在1980s年代、2000s年代及预测的2020s年代LUCC情景下,汉江上游流域年平均径流量呈增加趋势,LUCC对径流量年内影响较汛期显著,多年平均蒸散发量呈增加趋势     

四川马边彝族自治县土地利用/覆被变化分析

采用基于最大似然法的监督分类方法对四川省马边彝族自治县1988年和2001年两期Landsate5 TM影像进行解译,利用单项土地利用动态指数〖WTBX〗（LUDI）、双向土地利用动态指数（Ki）以及土地利用类型转移矩阵（Cx×y）〖WTBZ〗等定量分析方法分析解译结果,得到马边县13年间土地利用/覆被动态及转移特征,并对可能的生态影响进行了分析预测。结果显示：①次生林面积增加,针叶林面积有所下降,灌草地被农田大量取代;②城镇及居民点和次生林的动态最为活跃,转入面积明显高于转出面积;③中山区和亚高山区林地构成发生变化,高山草甸面积有所萎缩,河谷区的阔叶林带被次生林大量取代,低山河谷区的土地破碎化程度增加。研究表明,13年间马边土地利用/覆被变化具有动态高、转换活跃、空间性强以及人为活动干扰影响明显等特点。其中,低山丘陵区的灌草坡大量被农地替代、中山区和亚高山区次生林面积扩大应该作为生态退化的信号加以重视。另外,气候变化对马边森林植被演替可能产生的影响应在今后进行深入的分析研究     

东南丘陵土地利用变化及驱动力研究--以衡阳市为例

在GIS,Excel, SPSS11.0的支持下,以土地详查数据为依据,对衡阳市1994~2001年的土地利用变化过程进行了全面分析,揭示了衡阳市近七年来土地利用变化的时空特点,并分析了其主要原因。研究表明：(1)衡阳市1994~2001年耕地、未利用地面积总体减少,其他用地均有不同程度增加,土地利用类型变动的总体方向是：农用地和未利用地向建设用地转化,耕地向园地、水域转化,未利用地向林地转化。(2) 衡阳市土地利用变化存在较大的时间和空间差异。时间上1997年前土地利用变化显著,1997年后变化较小;空间上以祁东县和衡阳市区变化较大,衡南县、南岳区变化较小。(3)人口因素、政策因素、经济因素是衡阳市土地利用变化的主要影响因素。1997年前后土地利用变化情况的差异主要由政策因素造就,地形地貌因素及经济因素则主导了区内空间差异的形成。     

基于Google Earth Engine的三峡库区土地利用与陆表参数变化研究

土地利用/覆盖变化(Land Use and Land Cover Change, LUCC)对全球有着重要影响,其已对植被覆盖、地表温度(Land Surface Temperature, LST)、反照率以及其它陆表参数产生显著影响。三峡工程自建设以来,库区的土地利用变化逐渐受到外界关注。利用欧空局300 m的土地覆盖分类数据分析三峡库区2000～2015年的土地利用变化;依托先进的Google Earth Engine(GEE)平台,获取MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, MODIS)NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI)、LST和反照率数据,并分析三者的时空变化趋势;此外,探究季节性归一化植被指数(Seasonally Integrated Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, SINDVI)与LST和反照率的关系;并分析土地利用变化对SINDVI、LST和反照率的影响。结果表明:2000～2015年,三峡库区土地利用变化显著,耕地、草地、灌木地分别减少2.4%,0.05%和0.62%;林地、水域和人造地表分别增加1.98%,0.04%和1.06%。研究期间SINDVI增加2.89,LST下降0.224℃,反照率减少0.002。总体来看,三峡库区SINDVI的空间分布格局与LST和反照率的相反,且库区大部分区域SINDVI与LST和反照率呈负相关。另外,不同土地类型对SINDVI、LST和反照率影响不同。该文系统地研究了LUCC与上述关键陆表参数的定量关系,可为更好地管理该地区自然环境和土地资源提供科学的依据。     

Agricultural livelihood transition in the southern Yucatán region: diverging paths and their accompanying land changes

Land change science has demonstrated that rural livelihoods around the world both drive and reflect changing environmental regimes and political economic/structural transformations. This article explores the relationship between increasingly globalized rural livelihoods and in-place land change, assessing results from social surveys of smallholding households in the southern Yucatán region. We examine evidence for a transition in agricultural livelihood strategies as smallholders adjust to changing political economic and institutional conditions, and link these transitioning strategies to land use changes. Based on household surveys in 1997 and 2003, we comparatively assess both changes in the selection of livelihood strategies and in the land use and cover impacts of those strategies. Our results indicate that although impacts of given strategies have changed little over this period, there are increasing proportions of households pursuing two divergent adjustment paths—one of agricultural withdrawal and one of agricultural intensification and commercialization. We investigate what sociodemographic characteristics differentiate the groups of households following distinct livelihood strategies. Our findings point to the possibility of simultaneous and contradictory land change outcomes as smallholders adjust in different ways to their intensified incorporation into global economies.     

基于MODIS的渍害田和正常农田遥感特性对比研究

渍害田在我国南方地区分布广泛,严重影响农业生产。以四湖流域洪湖地区为实验区,基于渍害田的物理及生态特性来探讨渍害田遥感识别特性。利用2002～2011年MODIS产品,辅以土壤图、土地覆被数据,对比分析了正常农田及渍害田在反照率、增强型植被指数（EVI）、地表夜温、地表温差和表观热惯量的时相差异;并结合相关研究成果加以解释和验证。结果表明：一年中大部分时段,正常农田的反照率、EVI、地表温差都大于渍害田,而地表夜温、表观热惯量都低于渍害田;各指标的多年平均值也具有类似差别;渍害田的EVI在6、7月份比正常农田高, 可能是由于渍害田在雨、热、肥条件同时良好时比正常农田生长的更快。研究结果可为进一步准确识别渍害田空间分布及其动态变化     

Scenarios and story lines: drivers of land use change in southern Mexico

The study presents three scenarios of land use and cover change (LUCC), the most important factor for environmental degradation in southern Mexico. We developed story lines and quantitative projections for regional scenarios based on historic LUCC processes, environmental policies, socioeconomic drivers, stakeholder consultations and official planning documents to gain a better understanding of drivers of LUCC, and quantitative scenarios were modeled with DINAMICA-EGO. Regionally specific interactions between social and natural systems are recognized, and detrimental policies and policy options for landscape conservation and management for sustainability are acknowledged in a base line, variant and alternative scenario. Incongruent policies and ineffective ground implementation of conservation actions were identified as the critical underlying drivers of deforestation and forest degradation that could lead to a severe reduction in natural forests, while the local socioeconomic situation stays precarious. The baseline scenario parts from an analysis of historic LUCC processes and shows the consequences of LUCC tendencies: 73% of temperate forests and 50% of tropical forests would get deforested until 2030. In the variant scenario, these tendencies are adjusted to planning goals extracted from official documents and recent changes in public policies. The alternative scenario further addresses policy options for fostering conservation and sustainable development, but because of the time lag of implementation, still 59% of temperate forests and 36% of tropical forest would get lost until 2030. Nevertheless, this represents a reduction of 13% of forest loss and 11% less pastureland due to the proposed measures of conservation, and sustainable management, including strategies for reforming agricultural systems, agricultural and forestry policies and trade, land tenure and livelihood risk management.     

怒江云南北段的村域土地利用及驱动力分析

驱动力分析是土地利用研究的重要内容。选择怒江流域北段高黎贡山自然保护区周边4个自然村为研究对象,应用高分辨率SPOT 5遥感影像数据,结合实地逐块核实,对土地利用/覆被进行分类,并建立土地利用类型分类系统,用Fragstats 33分析得到村域土地利用格局和特征;同时,采用入户调查、半结构访谈和问卷调查等方法,获得的村域详细社会经济数据,建立土地利用与社会经济之间的关联,分析村域土地利用的驱动力。结果显示：村域土地利用主要受自然条件、受教育程度、生活习俗等因子的驱动,且经济收入主要依赖于粗放的土地利用。研究结果能为怒江云南北段的土地资源合理利用和村域经济发展提供数据支持;研究方法可作为局域尺度土地利用研究的参考     

南水北调中线水源地汉江上游流域主要生态环境问题及对策

汉江上游是南水北调中线水源地，流域生态环境建设是保障水源地水质安全的关键。针对上游流域水环境污染、土地利用以及水土流失等重大生态环境问题，结合流域数字高程模型及水质调查对其进行了系统分析。结果表明：（1）丹江流域、库区流域及汉中盆地水质较差，CODMn和氨氮成为水源区主要污染物；（2）各子流域区植被覆盖占各自面积的712%~957%，表明流域植被覆盖较好，但沿河岸100 m范围内农业用地占292%~434%，且多为坡耕地；（3）流域水土流失严重，2000年左右流域侵蚀图显示汉江源头、秦岭南及大巴山北均出现了大片年均侵蚀模数>2 200 t/km2的区域，且有日益增强的趋势。提出加大水环境污染整治力度、加强农业用肥管理及河岸带建设、水土保持建设以及加强流域水环境及水土保持监测和科研工作等对策。     

土地利用/覆盖变化对长江流域非点源污染的影响及其信息系统建设

随着社会经济的发展,不合理土地利用方式/土地覆盖变化造成的非点源污染已成为长江流域水环境不断恶化的重要原因之一。长江流域,特别是长江中上游地区是我国水土流失的重点地区之一。水土流失将泥沙和土壤中的营养元素、残留的农药、化肥及动植物残体带入水体,使水体悬浮物、化学需氧量、总磷、总氮等含量增加,水质污染加重,这是造成长江干流汛期水质变差的主要原因。虽然针对长江流域的研究很多,但土地利用/覆盖变化对长江流域水质的非点源污染却一直没有引起人们的足够重视。在分析当前长江流域非点源污染现状和3S技术的基础上,提出建立基于土地利用/覆盖变化的长江流域非点源污染模拟信息系统,并结合3S技术勾画出该系统的框架。该系统的建设和应用,对维持流域生态平衡,采取合理的土地管理方式,保护长江水资源的可持续利用,特别是三峡库区的生态安全具有重要意义。     

A spatially explicit reconstruction of cropland cover in China from 1661 to 1996

Reconstruction of cropland cover is crucial for assessing human impact on the environment. In this study, based on existing studies concerning historical cropland, population data and government inventories, we obtained a provincial cropland area dataset of China for 1661–1996 via collection, revision and reconstruction. Then, the provincial cropland area was allocated into grid cells of 10 × 10 km depending on the land suitability for cultivation. Our reconstruction indicates that cropland increased from ~55.5 × 10⁴ km² in 1661 to ~130.0 × 10⁴ km² in 1996. From 1661 to 1873, cropland expanded tremendously in the Sichuan Basin, and land reclamation was greatly enhanced in North China Plain. For 1873–1980, agricultural development occurred primarily in northeastern China. After 1980, most provinces in the traditionally cultivated region of China experienced decreases in cropland area. In comparison with satellite-based data for 2000, we found that our reconstruction generally captures the spatial distribution of cropland. Also, differences are mostly <20 % (?20 to 20 %). Compared with HYDE 3.1 dataset, which is designed for the global scale, our model is more suitable for reconstructing the historical crop cover of China at 10 × 10 km grid scale. Our reconstruction can be used in climate models to study the impact of crop cover change on the climate and carbon cycle.     

江苏太湖地区农业耕作制度变化及其对地表水土环境的影响

农业耕作制度变化及其环境效应是国内外广泛关注的学术前沿问题。近60 a来,江苏太湖地区农业耕作制度发生较大变化,主要表现在种植制度从偏重粮食生产转向粮经作物协调发展,用地作物增多而养地作物减少,作物品种经历了改进与优化过程,作物熟制经历了从“双三制”恢复到两熟制。施肥种类从有机肥为主转变为完全施用化肥,氮磷钾肥投入比例从长期严重失调发展到逐渐趋于协调。在总结近60 a来江苏太湖地区农业耕作制度变化特征的基础上,〖JP2〗分析了农业耕作制度变化对地表水土环境的影响,并提出了今后需要进一步关注的研究方向
