Historical Geography and Geosciences,2520-13793-319-71878-9 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.This book explores various approaches to reconstruct the spatial and temporal distribution of historical farmland in China. The book contains background information about political regimes, economic and social development, population changes and land resource utilization in the past 300 years in China. A literature review focuses on the assumptions, methodologies and models of reconstructing historical land-use datasets while addresses accuracy evaluation issues. Historical population size, its growth rate, and the evolution of spatial-temporal patterns of farmland in China have also been discussed. Almost all available historical data about farmland such as historical documents, archives, taxation records, statistics and research outcomes have been collected to reconstruct the amount of historical farmland. With a few principles and assumptions, a delicate Cellular Automaton (CA) and Multi-Agents (MAS) model based on bottom-up management scheme has been applied to derive the spatial-temporal distribution of farmland with the 1km*1km grid resolution for the period between 1661 and 1980 in China. Suggestions for future studies related to reconstructing historical land-use changes are then provided.Historical Geography and Geosciences,2520-1379Historical geographyChina—HistoryRegional planningUrban planningHuman geographyNatural resourcesAgricultureHistorical Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J22010History of Chinahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010Landscape/Regional and Urban Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000Human Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000Natural Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U39000Agriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Historical geography.China—History.Regional planning.Urban planning.Human geography.Natural resources.Agriculture.Historical Geography.History of China.Landscape/Regional and Urban Planning.Human Geography.Natural Resources.Agriculture.910Jin Xiaobinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059256Zhou Yinkangauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autYang Xuhongauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autCheng Yinongauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299404103321Historical Farmland in China During 1661-19802504791UNINA
