Does Internet use help reduce rural cropland abandonment? Evidence from China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors employed survey data from 8031 farm households in 27 provinces in rural China and built a theoretical analytical framework of information and communication technology (ICT) → farm household → land use under the guidance of information economics theory.

Relationships between labor migration and cropland abandonment in rural China from the perspective of village types
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the relationship between labor migration and cropland abandonment comparing village types, and found that farm households' part-time and off-farm labor migration in the three types of villages can significantly promote their croplands abandonment.

Jia Gao,Ge Song,Xueqing Sun +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a threshold model was used to evaluate the impact of household labor migration on rural land transfer in China, and the results showed that labor migration has a significant impact on land transfer, but when it is greater than 0.125, its impact is not significant.

Effects of rural–urban migration on agricultural transformation: A case of Yucheng City, China
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the relationship between rural-urban migration and the evolution of the rural human-land relationship, then introduced the city power and the rural power in the push-pull theory, and finally established an interactive analysis framework for rural and urban migration and agricultural transformation.

Rural-Urban Migration and its Effect on Land Transfer in Rural China
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of labor migration on the land transfer of farmers was analyzed using the survey data on dynamic migration of the Chinese labor force in 2014, using the iv-probit and iv-tobit models.

A model of labor migration and urban unemployment in less developed countries.
TL;DR: In this paper, an economic behavioral model of rural urban migration is formulated which represents a realistic modification and extension of the simple wage differential approach commonly found in the literature and this probablistic approach is incorporated into a rigorous model of the determinants of urban labor demand and supply which when given values for the crucial parameters can be used among other things to estimate the equilibrium proportion of the urban labor force that is not absorbed by the modern industrial economy.

Agricultural abandonment in mountain areas of Europe: Environmental consequences and policy response
Darla Hatton MacDonald,J.R. Crabtree,Georg Wiesinger,Thomas Dax,N Stamou,P Fleury,J Gutierrez Lazpita,Annick Gibon +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative analysis of European mountain case studies to assess the environmental impacts of land abandonment and decline in traditional farming practices is presented, while the influence of environmental changes is unpredictable due to environmental, agricultural and socio-economic contextual factors, abandonment generally has an undesirable effect on the environmental parameters examined.

Forest transitions: towards a global understanding of land use change
Thomas Rudel,Oliver T. Coomes,Emilio F. Moran,Frederic Achard,Arild Angelsen,Jianchu Xu,Eric F. Lambin +6 more
TL;DR: Forest transitions have occurred in two, sometimes overlapping circumstances: economic development and scarcity of forest products have prompted governments and landowners to plant trees in some fields as mentioned in this paper, and these transitions do little to conserve biodiversity, but they do sequester carbon and conserve soil, so governments should place a high priority on promoting them.

Rural land-use trends in the conterminous United States, 1950-2000
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the dominant spatial and temporal trends in population, agriculture, and urbanized land uses, using a variety of data sources and an ecoregion classification as a frame of reference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abandonment of agricultural land: an overview of drivers and consequences
TL;DR: An overview of land abandonment, its driving forces and its consequences for landscape, biodiversity and humans is presented and it is suggested that farmland must be viewed in a context of multi-functionality to take advantage of ecosystem goods and services.
