More than 124 governmental entities concerned about suburban sprawl and farmland loss have implemented farmland preservation programs preserving 1.67 million acres at a cost of $3.723 billion. Yet little analysis on these programs’ effectiveness in slowing farmland loss has been conducted. Using a unique 50-year 269 county panel data set on preservation programs and farmland loss for six Mid-At...

The precision agriculture decision-making needs of geographic information visualization analysis for farmland. In order to get 3D visualization of farmland, the Matlab software and wavelet transform were used for 3Dterrain survey data processing. Haar, DB6, Sym8, coif3 wavelet were used on the 3 layer decomposition of elevation data de-noising test, DB6 wavelet was used on the two to seven laye...

Cele Oasis on the southern edge of Tarim Basin was used to investigate the impact of human activity on the soil environment of the oasis–desert ecotone during the oasis expansion process. Since farmland is extending into the oasis–desert ecotone during oasis expansion, reclaimed farmland and control plots within the ecotone were investigated. The variations in soil moisture, soil nutrients and ...
