Evaluating the spatial spillover effect of farmland use transition on grain production – An empirical study in Hubei Province, China

Farmland resources are the most basic material for grain production. Therefore, the impact of farmland use transition (FUT) on grain production is receiving increasing attention from scholars. However, only a few studies have explored the spatial spillover effects of FUT on grain production and inve...
