The Natural and Socioeconomic Influences on Land-Use Intensity: Evidence from China

Intensive land use can support sustainable socioeconomic development, especially in the context of limited land resources and high population. It is measured by land-use intensity that reflects the degree of land-use efficiency. In order to support decision-making for efficient land use, we investig...
