Spatiotemporal Variability and Drivers of Cropland Non-Agricultural Conversion Across Mountainous County Types: Evidence from the Qian-Gui Karst Region, China by Qingping Lu, Siji Zhu, Zhaofu Xiao, Guifang Zhu, Jie Li, Jiahao Cui, Wen He, Jun Sun

“…Specifically, the growth rate of the CNAC area was the highest in apparent mountainous (110.36%) and quasi-mountainous counties (100.5%), followed by semi-mountainous counties (95.28%), while entirely mountainous (40.89%) and pure hilly counties (37.68%) experienced the lowest growth, revealing distinct regional disparities. (2) Spatially, CNAC exhibited a pattern of “high in the north and south, low in the central region”, and the overall level of CNAC displayed significant regional imbalances, with extreme grades distributed in provincial capitals, high and medium grades concentrated in prefecture-level city districts, and light and low grades mainly located in counties and districts (accounting for more than 55.56% of the total number of research units in the two time periods). (3) There was significant spatial heterogeneity in the driving effect of factors influencing CNAC. …”
