Land engineering and its role for sustainable agriculture in the agro-pastoral ecotone: A case study of Yulin, Shaanxi Province, China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Geographical Sciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s11442-019-1630-1
Abstract: With global climate change, the agricultural light-temperature potential productivity in the agro-pastoral ecotone has increased. This offers a good opportunity to develop agriculture in the agro-pastoral ecotone. However, the agro-pastoral ecotone is also an ecologically… read more here.
