ABSTRACT

To deeply explore the dynamics of cultivated land use and its driving mechanism in Heilongjiang Province, a major grain-producing area in China, this study systematically reveals the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of the cultivated land pattern in the study area over the past 20 years based on three phases of remote sensing of land use monitoring data (2000, 2010, and 2020) using methods such as land use transfer matrix and spatial analysis. On this basis, a driving force index system including natural factors (elevation, slope, precipitation, farmland production potential) and socioeconomic factors (population density, night-time light) was constructed. The Geographical Detector model was used to quantitatively examine explanatory capacity and interactive effects of each driving driver affecting the spatial heterogeneity of cultivated land changes in two time cross-sections (2000 and 2020). The research aims to clarify the evolution path of the cultivated land utilization pattern and its multidimensional driving force mechanism in Heilongjiang Province, providing a scientific basis for cultivated land protection, regional territorial space optimization, and the implementation of the national food security strategy.
