Understanding land for high-quality development

Land is the basis for human survival and production,providing food,fuel,fiber,and other ecosystem services(Verburg et al.,2013;Jin et al.,2021).Land-use change is both a cause and consequence of many biophysical and socioeconomic changes(Van and Verburg,2013).Human land-use activities have a great impact on biodiversity and the ecological environment by changing the ecosystem(Newbold et al.,2015;Asamoah et al.,2017;Tilman,2017;Zheng et al.,2020).Research by Song et al.(2018)showed that 60%of all land change is related to direct human activities and 40%to indirect drivers such as climate change.More research is needed to deepen the understanding of the land system mechanism and the ecological impact of land use.Issues such as land-use dynamic changes,interactions between humans and the natural environment in the land-use process,and the sustainability of land use have aroused widespread concern in the international academic community(Verburg et al.,2015;Liu,2018;Jin et al.,2019;Peng et al.,2020).
