“…To this end, countries worldwide have made many efforts to actively explore practical ways to protect arable land [17]. On a global scale, farmland protection is usually implemented through government intervention [18], mainly including demarcating agricultural protected areas through planning means [19], implementing compulsory agricultural land protection policies through legal means [20], and promoting agricultural land development rights trading through market means [21,22]. However, the protection of cultivated land quality is a systematic project.…”

Farmers’ protection behavior largely depends on their perceived value of cultivated land quality protection. However, existing research shows that the impact path of these perceived factors on farmers’ cultivated land protection behavior is not clear. Based on the survey data of 288 farmers in Ningbo City, this study empirically analyzed the impact of farmers’ perception on their cultivated land quality protection behavior through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that farmers’ cultivated land quality protection behavior largely depended on perceived value, and they followed the logic paradigm of “perceived tradeoff→perceived value→behavioral intention→behavioral response”. Among them, farmers’ perceived value comes from farmers’ comprehensive tradeoff of benefits and risks in the process of cultivated land quality protection. In other words, improving farmers’ perceived benefits and reducing perceived risks is conducive to improving farmers’ perceived value of cultivated land quality protection. The above findings are helpful to improve farmers’ behavior of farmland land quality protection and provide new ideas and empirical basis for the design and improvement of cultivated land quality protection policies.

“…Developed land uses are projected to continue to expand into prime farmlands and place additional burden on available water (California Department of Water Resources, 2009). Policies such as the Williamson Act may serve to slow development in the future, but no current policy has provided enough of an economic opportunity or constraint to stop development altogether (Goodenough, 1992). Given the amount of suitable agricultural land in the region, expansion of agriculture may continue to spill over into the adjacent Oak Woodlands ecoregion to accommodate demand (Sleeter, Wilson, Soulard, & Liu, 2011).…”

Open access to Landsat satellite data has enabled annual analyses of modern land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) for the Central California Valley ecoregion between 2005 and 2010. Our annual LULCC estimates capture landscape-level responses to water policy changes, climate, and economic instability. From 2005 to 2010, agriculture in the region fluctuated along with regulatory-driven changes in water allocation as well as persistent drought conditions. Grasslands and shrublands declined, while developed lands increased in former agricultural and grassland/shrublands. Development rates stagnated in 2007, coinciding with the onset of the historic foreclosure crisis in California and the global economic downturn. We utilized annual LULCC estimates to generate interval-based LULCC estimates (2000-2005 and 2005-2010) and extend existing 27 year interval-based land change monitoring through 2010. Resulting change data provides insights into the drivers of landscape change in the Central California Valley ecoregion and represents the first, continuous, 37 year mapping effort of its kind.
