Possibilities and requirements for introducing agri-environment measures in land consolidation projects in China, evidence from ecosystem services and farmers' attitudes.

摘要: The reductions of ecosystem services (ES) initiated by land consolidation towards intensive agriculture has been recognized in many parts the world. Land China is experiencing a transformation sustainability, which may be promoted learning experience Europe to introduce agri-environment measures (AEM). This paper focused on typical engineering works projects (LCP) discuss requirements and possibilities introducing AEM LCP China. Evidence was sought through ES changes farmers' attitudes. Based database collected from literature, under across were evaluated. Household interviews conducted identify perception their preference LCP. In consisted with our expectation, study demonstrated negative impacts environment, that present agricultural-focused have typically generated increases arable but decreases non-crop habitats, extensively caused growths food supply biodiversity maintenance ES. tendency would threaten provision multiple ultimate sustainability agriculture. It reflected urgent environment integration China, for are efficient instruments. Our results further illustrated high based evidence welcomed majority farmers involved all works, although selected mainly due pursuit aesthetic instead consideration. To promote it essential integrate into goals use policy, set up quantitative parameter controlling guidelines.
