<p>The Yellow River basin, from west to east through different gradient terrains and climates, has huge spatial differences of land use and problematic eco‐environment. The understanding of relationship between land use change and agricultural production is crucial for coordinating the conflict between land development and environment protection in the Yellow River basin. In this study, the relationship between changes in arable land and urban land and changes in vegetation cover and agricultural production potential were quantitatively analyzed. Whether reclaimed land in the Yellow River basin can be converted to arable land and whether the occupation of urban land will cause ecosystem degradation were also discussed. The results indicated that: (1) Land use change in the Yellow River basin was greatly influenced by precipitation, which also affected the agricultural production potential and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in the Yellow River basin. The implementation of the Grain for Green program (GGP) had an effective restoration for vegetation cover and the resistance of soil erosion. Although the net area of arable land decreased by 71.6 ten thousand ha, the net production potential of arable land still increased by 1.7 ten thousand tons due to the inferior quality of the arable land for ecological restoration. (2) The concentrated distributed grassland and forest shrunk and the supply of ecosystem services and NDVI reduced, leading to ecological degraded in urban agglomeration regions where human activity was concentrated and construction land was increasing rapidly during the period of 2000–2015. The arable land was reduced by 43.3 ten thousand ha due to urban expansion, accounting for 59% of the total area of urban expansion, and consequently the agricultural production potential in the lower reaches was decreased. (3) Although it has not contributed significantly to agricultural production, the reclaimed land can be converted to arable land to a certain extent, due to its reasonable use for improving the ecological status of the Yellow River basin. 34.1 ten thousand ha of unused land and grassland were reclaimed for arable land under the Requisition‐Compensation Equilibrium of Farmland, which accounts for 1.27% of the total arable land. The increase of potential productivity brought by the reclamation of land for agricultural use only accounts for 0.56% of the total arable land potential productivity. However, compared with the whole Yellow River basin and the GGP region, the region with arable land reclaimed by low-coverage grassland and unused land leads to the highest increasing rate of the supply of ecosystem services and NDVI. The results could provide theoretical support and decision-making basis for further eco‐environment reconstruction, and promoting the reasonable land use and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin.</p>

The Yellow River Basin

The Yellow River is the second largest river in China, and the provinces and cities affected by the Yellow River are called the Yellow River Basin influence area. The relationship between land use and surface thermal effects in the influence area of the Yellow River Basin from 2000 to 2015 was analyzed using MODIS remote sensing data and an energy balance algorithm. The results showed that: (1) net radiation and latent heat flux both increased, and the high value areas were located in the urban expansion areas and natural and seminatural areas, respectively; (2) net surface energy intake showed a upward trend, and increased as the intensity of human influence increased, indicating that human activities had strengthed the positive trend of net surface energy intake and increased the warming effect; (3) net radiation had a greater impact on surface energy intake than latent heat flux, and this relationship was more obvious in land use types that were greatly affected by human activities. This study emphasizes the difference in energy budgets of different land use types under the influence of human activities. It provides a theoretical basis for judging the climate change trend and urban heat island effect in the influence area of the Yellow River Basin from the perspective of biogeophysics.

Landscape Ecological

The basic premise of regional ecological construction would be to scientifically and effectively grasp the characteristics of land use change and its impact on landscape ecological risk. The research objects of this paper are the typical areas of the Yellow River Basin in China and “process-change-drive” as the logical main line. Moreover, this paper is based on multi-period land use remote sensing data from 2000 to 2020, the regional land use change process and influencing factors are identified, the temporal and spatial evolution and response process of landscape ecological risk are discussed, and the land use zoning control strategy to reduce ecological risk is put forward. The results indicated: (1) The scale and structure of land use show the characteristics of “many-to-one” and “one-to-many”; (2) the process of land use change is affected by the alternation of multiple factors. The natural environment and socio-economic factors dominate in the early stage and the location and policy factors have a significant impact in the later stage; (3) the overall landscape ecological risk level and conversion rate show a trend of “high in the southeast, low in the northwest”, shift from low to high and landscape ecological risks gradually increase; and (4) in order to improve the regional ecological safety and according to the characteristics of landscape ecological risk and spatial heterogeneity, we should adopt the management and control zoning method and set different levels of control intensity (from key intensity to strict intensity to general intensity), and develop differentiated land use control strategies.

Abstract To analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of water resource value in the agricultural system of the Yellow River Basin, this paper takes the Yellow River Basin as its research object and studies the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of water resource value in the agricultural system using the emergy theory and method, the spatial autocorrelation analysis method, and the spatial regression model. The results show that (1) the value of water resources in the agricultural system ranges from 0.64 to 0.98$/m3, and the value in the middle and lower reaches of the basin is relatively high; (2) the Moran index of the water resource value in the agricultural system is 0.2772, showing a positive spatial autocorrelation feature. Here, ‘high-high (high value city gathering)’ is the main aggregation mode, which is mainly concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the basin. (3) The spatial error model, moreover, has the best simulation effect. The cultivated land area, total agricultural output value, agricultural labor force, and total mechanical power have a significant positive impact on the agricultural production value of water resources in the Yellow River Basin; the altitude, annual average temperature, and agricultural water consumption have a negative impact. Overall, this study shows that guiding the distribution of water resources according to their value and increasing agricultural water use in the middle and lower reaches of the basin will help improve the overall agricultural production efficiency of water resources in the basin.
