- Abstract:
-
The typical mountain area in southwest China named Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province was taken as an example. This paper analyzed the temporal changes and spatial distribution characteristics of cultivated land area(CLA) and grain output(GO) by employing the method of descriptive statistics, cultivated land pressure index(CLPI), cluster analysis, etc. The results showed that :(1) from 1999 to 2011, the total cultivated area and total grain output had a process of increase, and the cultivated land area per capita presented a decreased trend, the grain output per capita and the grain output per unit appeared to be a fluctuating upward trend, during the period 1999 to 2011, the CLPI was always less than 1, so there was no arable land pressure in Liangshan prefecture; (2) the CLA, GO, minimum cultivated land area per capita and CLPI had significant spatial difference, 8 counties had cultivated land pressure, 7 counties basically had no cultivated land pressure, and 2 counties had no cultivated land pressure. Lastly, this paper simply discussed the related policies and measures on protecting cultivated land and achieving food security in the mountain areas.
