Spatio-temporal characteristics of cultivated land fragmentation in different landform areas with a case study in Northeast China

Assessing the temporal and spatial characteristics of cultivated land fragmentation is necessary to identify management practices that can reduce negative environmental effects. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use principal component analysis and spatial autocorrelation to analyze the dynamic...
