In the Sichuan province, livelihood security and social development are particularly sensitive to changes in the sloping farmland, due to the region’s large portion of hilly territory and its over-dense population. In this study, we focused on spatiotemporal change of the sloping farmland and its driving forces in the Sichuan province. Sloping farmland areas were extracted from geographic data from digital elevation model (DEM) and land use maps, and the driving forces of the spatiotemporal change were analyzed using a principal component analysis (PCA). The results indicated that, from 2000 to 2015, sloping farmland decreased by 3263 km2 in the Sichuan province. The area of gently sloping farmland (<10◦) decreased dramatically by 1467 km2, especially in the capital city, Chengdu, and its surrounding areas.

  • Time-Calibrated Milankovitch Cycles for the Late Permian
    ARTICLE Received 31 Oct 2012 | Accepted 16 Aug 2013 | Published 13 Sep 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3452 OPEN Time-calibrated Milankovitch cycles for the late Permian Huaichun Wu1,2, Shihong Zhang1, Linda A. Hinnov3, Ganqing Jiang4, Qinglai Feng5, Haiyan Li1 & Tianshui Yang1 An important innovation in the geosciences is the astronomical time scale. The astronomical time scale is based on the Milankovitch-forced stratigraphy that has been calibrated to astronomical models of paleoclimate forcing; it is defined for much of Cenozoic–Mesozoic. For the Palaeozoic era, however, astronomical forcing has not been widely explored because of lack of high-precision geochronology or astronomical modelling. Here we report Milankovitch cycles from late Permian (Lopingian) strata at Meishan and Shangsi, South China, time calibrated by recent high-precision U–Pb dating. The evidence extends empirical knowledge of Earth’s astronomical parameters before 250 million years ago. Observed obliquity and precession terms support a 22-h length-of-day. The reconstructed astronomical time scale indicates a 7.793-million year duration for the Lopingian epoch, when strong 405-kyr cycles constrain astronomical modelling. This is the first significant advance in defining the Palaeozoic astronomical time scale, anchored to absolute time, bridging the Palaeozoic–Mesozoic transition. 1 State Key Laboratory of Biogeology and Environmental Geology, China University of Geosciences, Beijing 100083, China. 2 School of Ocean Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Beijing 100083, China. 3 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland 21218, USA. 4 Department of Geoscience, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada 89154, USA. 5 State Key Laboratory of Geological Processes and Mineral Resources, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China.

  • A Closer Look at China's Lgfvs: Sichuan
    A Closer Look at China’s LGFVs: Sichuan May 21, 2020 Key Takeaways Primary Analyst Renyuan Zhang — Following a desktop analysis of 136 local government financing vehicles (LGFVs) in Sichuan Beijing Province, we believe the median indicative issuer credit quality of LGFVs in the province is +86-10 6516 6028 renyuan.zhang on a par with national median. @spgchinaratings.cn — We view that Chengdu has much stronger indicative support capability for LGFVs than other cities in the province, mainly benefiting from its stronger economy and fiscal position. Secondary Analysts Guangyuan, Ziyang, Bazhong, and Ya’an have relatively weaker indicative support capability. Yingxue Ren Beijing — We believe that the overall indicative issuer credit quality of the vehicles in Chengdu +86 10 6516 6037 is better than other regions, while the vehicles in cities like Suining and Bazhong have Yingxue.Ren relatively weaker overall indicative issuer credit quality. @spgchinaratings.cn Huang Wang Beijing To get a full picture of the overall credit quality of LGFVs in Sichuan Province, we carried out a +86 10 6516 6029 desktop analysis of 136 LGFVs in the region, using public information. Our sample includes LGFVs Huang.Wang at the city-level and below and subway companies, but excludes provincial-level LGFVs (like @spgchinaratings.cn transportation construction companies, investment holding companies and utility companies) Kexin Wang and city-level investment holding companies without operations in LGFV areas of business. Beijing The entities in the sample represent close to 88% of LGFVs with bonds outstanding in Sichuan, +86 10 6516 6033 covering 18 prefecture-level cities. We believe they offer a comprehensive reflection of the overall Kexin.Wang @spgchinaratings.cn indicative credit quality of LGFVs in Sichuan.

  • The Cultural Revolution in the Countryside: Scope, Timing and Human Impact*
    The Cultural Revolution in the Countryside: Scope, Timing and Human Impact* Andrew G. Walder and Yang Su ABSTRACT Information extracted from 1,520 county annals published after 1987 is used to estimate the timing and impact of the Cultural Revolution in rural China. Outside observers initially concluded that the movement had little impact on remote rural regions, while early post-Mao revelations suggested that the opposite was the case. Adjusting for the tendency of shorter accounts to report fewer casualties, and with additional assumptions about under-reporting in the longer and more detailed accounts, the authors derive an estimated death toll of between 750,000 and 1.5 million, a similar number of people permanently injured, and 36 million who suffered some form of political persecution. The vast majority of these casualties occurred from 1968 to 1971, after the end of the period of popular rebellion and factional conflict and the establishment of provisional organs of local state power. For more than two decades we have known that our early views of the Cultural Revolution in the countryside need to be re-assessed. An initial understanding was firmly established by Richard Baum’s careful analysis of evidence available in 1969, which portrayed the Cultural Revolution as primarily an urban affair.
