Review of research on evaluating the ecological security of cultivated land

Abstract

Cultivated land provides fundamental land-related resources, and its ecological security is, thus, an important means of protecting it. The ecological security of cultivated land has emerged as an important and challenging area of research in recent years. In this study, we summarize the progress in research on the evaluation of the ecological security of cultivated land through visual analysis. We review the concepts, characteristics, driving factors, scales and methods of evaluation, technologies, and simulations used in the relevant literature. The results show that while the relevant concept has been preliminarily established, research on the ecological security of cultivated land remains in its infancy, and comprehensive work on the subject is lacking. The Prevalent research has mainly focused on analyzing the current situation, but lacks a dynamic analysis of the driving mechanism of the ecological security of cultivated land based on simulations. This has made it difficult to understand the spatiotemporal mechanism of the ecological security of cultivated land. Future research in the area should discuss the complex driving mechanism of interactions between the social economy system and the ecological system and focus on an integrated model to assess its dynamic spatial and multi-scale characteristics of ecological security of cultivated land because this can inform the theory of protecting cultivated land and the design of plans for land use to mitigate global climate change.

Factors Affecting Household Food Security in Rural Districts of Rwanda

“…Arya et al's (2023) exploration of the entitlement approach proposed by Amartya Sen sheds light on the genesis of famine, emphasizing that famine can occur even when there is sufficient food available. It is crucial to understand the ranges of ecological security, as He et al (2023) points out in their review of research evaluating the biodiversity of cultivated land. Research on the brittle structure model and set pair theory by Zhu et al (2021) on obstacle diagnosis of ecosystem security adds to our knowledge of food security from several angles, including the social, economic, and ecological ones.…”

“…Cultivated land is an important component of agricultural ecosystems and provides essential land-related resources (He et al, 2023). In recent years, the quality and ecology of cultivated land have attracted attention from the government.…”
