Exploring the relationship between rural transition and agricultural eco-environment using a coupling analysis: A case study of Zhejiang Province, China

Rapid rural social-economic transitions in China have given rise to increasingly serious agricultural eco-environmental (AEE) problems. The deterioration of AEE poses great challenges to the sustainable agriculture and results in an incoordination among rural economy, society and ecology. Coordinati...
