The researchers studied changes in arable land in Guiyang City from 1996 to 2009. They found that the total arable land area decreased over this time, along with the amount of arable land per person. Factors driving this change included economic growth, population increase, and improved agricultural technology. To protect arable land, the researchers suggested measures to ensure its safe and sustainable use.
