Response of Land Use Change to the Grain for Green Program and Its Driving Forces in the Loess Hilly-Gully Region

Implementation of the Grain for Green program (GGP) intensifies land use/cover change (LUCC) in loess hilly-gully region. Clarifying response LUCC to GGP and its driving forces are basic premises implement more effectively alleviating soil erosion this This study analyzed spatio-temporal characteristics conversion cultivated forest grassland two periods 2000–2010 2010–2018. The transition matrix model dynamic degree were utilized explore changes among land, based on remote sensing (RS) monitoring data use 2000, 2010, 2018. Secondly, further detection increase was conducted through logistic regression model. Fourteen factors selected: GGP, elevation, slope, population density, GDP per area, distance city, residential etc. results revealed that: (1) Area mainly transferred during periods. occupied 21.48% 68.01% outward-transferring area from 2000 accounted 13.26% 74.3% 2010 2018; (2) From model, annual mean temperature, slope III (6–15°), main 2010. Moreover, most prominent rural pH findings can help us better understand under provide a scientific basis facilitate sustainable development resources area.
