“…Currently, there is no clear academic concept for NGPCL. Foreign scholars typically approach a related analysis from the perspective of agricultural sustainable development, discussing the theoretical logic and specific practices of diversified planting [26][27][28]. Chinese scholars were among the first to regard NGPCL as an independent utilization method for cropland, and they have conducted discussions around the spatial characteristics and influencing factors of NGPCL.…”

With the continuous advancement of urbanization and industrialization, non-grain production on cropland (NGPCL) is gradually becoming more widespread. This phenomenon will compress the space for grain production and trigger a global food crisis. How to scientifically understand and effectively control NGPCL has become a scientific issue. This study, conducted at the plot scale, establishes a measurement index for NGPCL and further explores the characteristics and driving mechanisms of NGPCL in mountainous areas. The results indicate the following: (1) Compared to plots for food-growing, plots for non-grain production tend to be more dispersed, with terraces showing the most significant dispersion, while plains exhibit the highest degree of aggregation. (2) In terms of irrigation conditions, irrigated land and dry land are more likely to undergo NGPCL. In terms of topography, slope croplands have the highest probability of being used for NGPCL. (3) Regions with steeper slopes, higher elevations, greater differences in altitude from the settlement, farther distances from settlements and roads, yet closer proximity to forests, are more likely to engage in NGPCL. (4) Different plot characteristics have varying impacts on NGPCL. Plot characteristics primarily affect the costs and returns of grain production, driving farmers to change their production patterns and triggering NGPCL.

This paper explores the complex relationship among forest management practices and watershed health, emphasizing the crucial function of forests in sustaining freshwater sources. It critiques various factors impacting watershed fitness, including land use changes, deforestation, and urbanization. The study conducted here highlights the importance of sustainable forest management practices, such as environment-based techniques and carbon sequestration, in retaining water quality and quantity. Additionally, it discusses the impact of forest composition on watershed health and the subsequent results on soil approaches, water quality, and biodiversity. The paper additionally addresses the challenges and strategies in handling watersheds, considering the socio-economic, environmental, and political aspects. The findings recommend that an incorporated technique regarding community participation, cross-sectorial coverage integration, and advanced management strategies can improve watershed health and make a contribution to global water security.
