Assessing the impact of urban expansion on potential crop yield

ORIGINAL PAPER Assessing the impact of urban expansion on potential crop yield in China during 1990–2010 Luo Liu Xinliang Xu Xi Chen Received: 20 February 2014 /Accepted: 2 December 2014 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht and International Society for Plant Pathology 2014 Abstract Rapid urbanization in China has raised great con- cerns regarding food security caused by conversion of limited cultivated land to urban use. In this study, the loss of potential crop yield due to urban expansion in China during 1990–2010 was calculated by the Global Agro-Ecological Zones (GAEZ) model. Over this period, potential yield decreased by approx- imately 34.90million tons due to urban expansion, accounting for 6.52 % of China’s total actual production. The decrease was 13.07 and 21.83 million tons during the first and second decade, respectively. Key areas of lost potential yield were primarily in the Middle-lower Yangtze Plain and the Huang- Huai-Hai Plain. However, South China became a new key area of lost potential yield during the second decade. These findings provide useful information for the development of land use policy, protection of suitable arable land resources and urban development plans in China. Keywords Urban expansion . Potential yield .GAEZ .China Introduction The urbanization process is one of the most important aspects of global change, which is associated with the immigration from rural residential land to urban areas, accompanied by the clearing of forests and the conversion of cropland to urban construction land (Burke et al. 1991; Qiao et al. 2013a; Tian and Qiao 2014). China has undergone rapid urbanization due to population growth, economic development and changing land use over the last few decades (Deyong et al. 2009). It is worth noting that the percentage of the population in urban areas of China reached 50% in 2010, whereas it was just 17% in 1978 (Tian and Qiao 2014). The acceleration of urban population growth has not only resulted in
