Land cover and land cover change information are essential data in terrestrial surface research. However, the land cover products are highly inconsistent, especially in the mountainous area. Most land cover assessment studies focused on the consistency of spatial patterns, while ignoring the consistency of change and elevation heterogeneity. In this study, four land cover products were assessed for spatiotemporal consistency on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), including the Moderate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer land cover (MCD12Q1), the Climate Change Initiative Land Cover (CCI-LC), the 30-meter Global Land Cover (Globeland30) and the Multi-Period Land Use/Land Cover Remote Sensing Monitoring Database in China (CNLUCC). The impact of elevation on the consistency of multiple land cover products across spatiotemporal scales was further analyzed. The spatial consistency of the three and more products was about 70%, with higher consistency for grassland and bare land and lower consistency for wetland and shrubland on the TP. Globeland30 and CCI-LC were better than others for overall monitoring, with the inconsistency of less than 45% by google earth dataset validation. The temporal change consistency of the four land cover products was less than 10%. With increasing elevation, the average spatial consistency decreased and the land cover change area and temporal change consistency increased. There is a high inconsistency of land cover changes on the TP in existing commonly used products, demonstrating the need to develop high-quality land cover products in long time series.

Many scholars have conducted in-depth research on the theme of land use change and food security, and formed fruitful research results, but there is a lack of quantitative analysis and comprehensive evaluation of research achievements. Therefore, based on the relevant literature on the theme of land use change and food security in the core collection of the Web of Science (WOS) database, this paper takes the advantage of CiteSpace and VOSviewer bibliometric software to draw the cooperative network and keyword cooccurrence map to analyze the research progress and frontier. The results reveal that: (1) The research started in 1999 and can be divided into three stages: initial research, rapid development, and a stable in-depth stage. This topic has increasingly become a research hotspot in the academic community. (2) The distribution of research institutions is concentrated and forms a small cluster, and the research networks between developed and developing countries have been established, and developed countries are in the core position, but the cooperation network is not prominent. (3) The research content is becoming increasingly organized and systematic, and the research hot topics are divided into seven aspects. (4) The research area of the subject covers multiple levels, such as global, national, and specific natural geographical regions, and has formed a research system of geographic information technology and satellite remote sensing technology. It also presents the trend of cross integration with economics, land management and soil science. In the future, theoretical innovation still needs to be strengthened, and we should strengthen the research on the impact of agricultural chemical fertilizers on food security and study the impact of urban expansion on land use change.

“…In China, the GGP is almost fully government-led and rarely considers farmers' opinions during project implementation. Many projects have been implemented for more than 20 years locally, but very few studies have investigated farmers' feelings and their satisfaction level [8,9]. This study evaluates farmers' attitudes towards the GGP and their perception of how it has affected the ecology in their areas.…”

The Grain for Green Project (GGP) aims to protect and improve the ecological environment, end farming on sloping farmland, and plant trees and restore forest vegetation. China’s GGP has been widely implemented, but its impact on the environment is rarely evaluated from farmers’ perspectives. This study took place in Zhidan and Yanchang Counties, Shaanxi Province. Farmers’ attitudes towards the GGP were investigated through semi-structured interviews to understand their perceptions of changes in ecosystem services and their level of ecological awareness, as well as analyzing which factors had the greatest impact on them. Our results indicate that some farmers are not satisfied with the GGP and are unwilling to participate in future GGPs, which is not only due to the dissatisfaction with subsidies offered but also because the needs of the farmers have been ignored. From the perspective of farmers, the GGP has greatly reduced soil erosion and air pollution but has had no effect on improving water quality and protecting biodiversity. More male farmers are willing to participate, and farmers with higher levels of education are more satisfied with the GGP. We also found that the level of understanding of ecological cognition affected farmers’ attitudes, and farmers with different levels of knowledge differ in their willingness to participate. Our research found that many farmers were dissatisfied with the GGP. To improve this situation, it is necessary to improve the ecological awareness of farmers. At the same time, policy makers should also further understand the needs of farmers in order to make reasonable management strategies.
