TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a project to map, in a high level of detail, the in-use construction material stocks of Japan and its 47 prefectures from the 1940s until the present era.

TL;DR: In this article, the maize yield of China's Jilin province from 1962 to 2004, with climate conditions and fertilizer as predictors, was investigated using multiple linear regression (MLR) and non-linear artificial neural network (ANN) models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an integrated modelling approach to simulate dynamically the changes in sown areas for the world's major crops at a global scale, based on three core models: a crop choice decision model, the Multinomial Logit model, was used to track and simulate the crop choice decisions made by individual farmers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined global rice production patterns on a geographical basis by using various criteria linked to domestic income, population patterns, and associated satellite brightness data of rice-producing regions.

TL;DR: In this article, a crop choice decision model that dynamically simulates future changes in sown areas of paddy rice in Asia was developed under the framework of Action-in-Context with the aim of understanding land users' decisions on crop choices among a set of available alternatives using a crop utility function.
