Rural hollowing and land attachment
This study aims to understand the emergence of hollow villages with the abandonment of cropland and homestead using a spatially explicit agent-based model. The process of rural hollowing can be explained by social-ecological feedback between land use and labor migration.
This paper describes the dataset for assessing the spillover effects of concurrently implemented policies. Methods for assessing spillover effects among concurrent green initiatives Author: Qi Zhang Updated: November 2024
Nature-based solutions and wildlife-human conflicts
This study investigates household land-use decisions on cropland abandonment under the influence of crop-raiding by wildlife. The research integrates satellite remote sensing, statistical modeling, and multilevel analysis.
Reforestation Policy & Rural Livelihoods: Migratio & Remittance
This study investigates the role remittance play in sustaining forest and livelihoods. The experiment is based on China’s largest payments for ecosystem services policy, Congversion of Cropland to Forest Program (CCFP).
