“Research has revealed that the level of intensive use of arable land in China has continued to improve from 2000 to 2024, with an average annual growth rate of 2.85%. Each province has shown a trend of low value clustering and high value diffusion. Experts have established a spatial correlation network analysis system to explore the influencing factors of the evolution of the intensive use of arable land network, laying the foundation for the construction of cross regional collaborative mechanisms for arable land use protection.”
