- Abstract:
-
Arable land evaluation is the important foundation and critical condition for regional agricultural land sustainable development of social-economy in Karst region. With the aid of MapGIS, the multi-map superimposition method was used to define evaluation units and to extract unit attribute data, select factors from three aspects, i.e., soil conditions, environmental conditions, climatic conditions, and establish the evaluation system. The quality of regional cultivated land was evaluated by using analytic hierarchy. The results indicate that the arable land in this area is medium in quality and can be sorted into 8 levels, accounting for 8.43%, 10.03%, 9.88%, 0.66%, 15.85%, 16.73%, 16.07% and 6.05%. The middle and high quality arable lands distribute in the central and southern Suiyang County, lower-middle quality arable lands lie in the northern, western and eastern of Suiyang County. The results is roughly in accordance with the actual situation.
