Abstract:

Revealing the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of grain production in China and its matching with arable land and agricultural resources was of great significance to rationally utilize land and improve the comprehensive land production capacity of land, and guarantee the national food security and ecological security. In this study, we quantitatively analyzed the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of Chinese grain production based on geomorphological division using the grain production data of county regions via ArcGIS spatial analysis method from 1985 to 2015 in China. The results were as follows: (1) From 1985 to 2015, the plain areas produced an average of 42.7% of the country’s grain with 22.9% of the country’s land area. It was followed by mountains, terraces, and hills, accounting for 25.5%, 17.2%, and 14.7% of the country’s grain on average, respectively. In addition, grain production tended to be concentrated in plain and platform areas. In the past 30 years, the grain production concentration in plain areas had increased by 3.8%, while that in mountainous areas had decreased by 4.4%. (2) In the four geomorphological divisions, the average production of rice, wheat, maize, and soybean in the plain area accounted for 30.6%, 63.3%, 46.9%, and 40.7% in recent 30 years, while potato production in the mountainous areas reached 54.1%. The production of rice, wheat, and maize all showed a tendency to concentrate in the plain areas, while the concentration of soybean and potato in the hills and mountain was increased. (3) In the past 30 years, the magnitude of the change for grain production among different geomorphological divisions was greater than that of planting area, and the variation of grain production in difference geomorphological divisions increased. In conclusion, in the future optimization of regional crop layout and the formulation of regional grain production technology strategy, not only the change of climate resources and social and economic conditions should be considered, but also the change of terrain and landform and their different requirements for agricultural machinery, soil tillage, and other technologies should be taken into account.

Key words: grain production, spatial distribution, geomorphological division, concentration, China
