Abstract
Abstract Soil depletion caused by SB and its negative repercussions on food safety and the sustainable development of agriculture are essential concerns in newly industrializing countries. Understanding and curtailing SB in specific regions is related to the analysis of its structural characteristics and justice transition. Due to the banning policy in China, the large-scale interview of farmers' motivations and behavior regarding SB is impracticable. As such, we attempted to improve the understanding of the influencing factors of SB in northeast China (a commodity grain base) by applying the up-scaling method, by using MODIS fire data on cropland, statistical socioeconomic data, and resource and environment data as well as factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. We found that bio-physical factors, agricultural input-output, economic development, and crop types are significant determinants of the intensity of SB. In the end, we asserted policy implications for addressing SB in northeast China.
