Compared to traditional studies on land use change, research on land use transformation offers a more effective way to reveal the trends and patterns of land use changes at the regional scale. Inspired by international studies on land use transformation, the author, Song Xiaoqing, has written The Theory and Practice of Arable Land Use Transformation, which includes eight chapters. This study proposes a theoretical framework for land use transformation that considers the mutual influence of patterns and functions, and identifies the key research directions for arable land use transformation. Based on this, it analyzes the trends of arable land use transformation in 19 representative countries, as well as in China, revealing the basic pathways of China's arable land use transformation and the new challenges it faces in terms of vulnerability to biological disasters. This book, grounded in China's national context, suggests a practical pathway for regulating arable land use transformation through multifunctional land management.
