• Grain-for-green policy and its impacts on grain supply in West China (2005, background): “With the development of the economy, we would expect cultivated land to decrease in the future in eastern China (Hong and Li, 2000).”
• Food security and food self-sufficiency in China: from past to 2050 (2014, background): “Pressure on agricultural land and land degradation has accelerated since 1978 due chiefl y to rapid industrialization and urbanization (Yang and Li 2007 ).”
• Land pricing and its impact on land use efficiency in post-land-reform China: A case study of Beijing (2016, background): “From 1978 to 1996 the annual loss of cultivated land was indeed cut in half, although it still amounted to 2628 km (Yang and Li, 2000).”
• Socio-economic development and land-use change: Analysis of rural housing land transition in the Transect of the Yangtse River, China (2007, background): “Farmers prefer to build their houses in the valleys (instead of the hillside), and they prefer good location and settle close to roads and other available infrastructure, which contributed to the loss of agricultural land (Yang and Li, 2000; Xu, 2004).”
• Assessing farmland protection policy in China (2008, background): “Provinces in coastal and central China lost an estimated 1.5 to 2.1 million hectares of cropland between the mid1980s and mid-1990s (Heilig 1997, Heilig 1999, Ash and Edmonds 1998, Yang and Li 2000) Not all of the farmland losses reported above represent land removed from food production.”
• Rapid urbanization in China: A real challenge to soil protection and food security (2007, background): “Perhaps for aforementioned reasons, studies focused on land-use changes induced by urbanization and city sprawl have been concentrated in East China, especially in three metropolitan areas, namely Yangtze River Delta (YRD, hereafter), Pearl River Delta (PRD) and Beijing–Tianjin– Hebei (BTH) regions ”
