This land situation is one of the main factors that constrains the steady growth of grain production in China and sustained and healthy development of the national economy (Lu, 2001). China's per capita arable land is hectares, per capita forest is hectares, and per capita grassland is hectares, which are respectively equivalent to 44%, 18% and 35% of the world average. China's land resources distribution is uneven and particularly does not match the regional distribution of water resources, which seriously affects land productivity. The area of the Yangtze River Basin and to the south has more than 80% of the total water resources of the country but only has 38% of the total cultivated land area, while the area of the Huai River and to the north has less than 20% of the country's water, and 62% of its arable Figure Spatial distribution of five major ecosystem types in China (Source: Liu, 1998) Cropl
