- Typologies of crop-drought vulnerability: an empirical analysis of the socio-economic factors that influence the sensitivity and resilience to drought of three major food crops in China (1961–2001) (2009, background): “The coincidence of increased cropdrought vulnerability and rainfall may be driven by a switch to more water-demanding crops and a deteriorated irrigation infrastructure that does not conserve the extra water (Tao et al., 2006; Yang, 1998; Yang et al., 2007).”
- Agricultural intensification and changes in cultivated areas, 1970–2005 (2009, background): “In China the ‘‘Grain for Green’’ program took large, upland areas out of cultivation (25).”
- Farmland Conversion Decreases Regional and National Land Quality in China (2017, background): “…was largely because of the Grain-for-Green policy, first implemented by the Ministry of Land and Resources of China in 1999 in the Loess Plateau (Feng et al., 2005; Huang et al., 2011; Li & Huntsinger, 2011; Peng et al., 2007; Xu et al., 2006) and expanded the following year to the rest of China.”
- Ecological and socioeconomic effects of China's policies for ecosystem services (2008, background): “The GTGP has improved the socioeconomic wellbeing of participating households in most areas (44).”
- China’s conversion of cropland to forest program: a systematic review of the environmental and socioeconomic effects (2016, unknown): “In particular, the overlogging of state forest farms and forest clearing on steep slopes for smallholder agriculture contributed to soil erosion [7, 8] which, coupled with the artificial desiccation and siltation of lakes [9], increased flood risk throughout major river basins.”
- How sustainable are sustainable development programs? The case of the sloping land conversion program in China. (2009, background): “The SLCP has a budgetary outlay of over US$30 billion and will affect 60 million households making it one of the largest land-set aside programs in the world (Xu et al., 2006a).”
