Analysis of the influence factors of cultivated land transfer in Guangdong coastal important agricultural areas based on geodetectors by Zhaogang Fu, Zhaogang Fu, Qingyi Xue

“…The analysis of regional differences in agricultural land transfer in existing literature is still insufficient.MethodsThis study is based on data from important agricultural areas along the coast of Guangdong Province in 2013, 2018, and 2023, and uses stepwise regression models and geodetectors to analyze the factors affecting spatial differentiation of agricultural land transfer.ResultCultivated land transfer in Zhanjiang, Maoming, and Yangjiang cities exhibits distinct spatial distribution characteristics, forming a gradient pattern that increases from east to west. In single-factor analysis, factors such as irrigation conditions, agricultural output value, urbanization level, electricity supply, and centralized water supply projects have a particularly prominent impact on farmland transfer. …”

The Western Alpine arc: a review and new kinematic model by Brunsmann, Quentin, Rosenberg, Claudio Luca, Bellahsen, Nicolas

“…The arcuate shape of the Western Alps is commonly interpreted to result from collisional, NW-ward indentation of the Adriatic indenter. The radial pattern (${\approx }$180°) of collisional transport directions is difficult to explain, especially in the southern WNW–ESE to E–W striking arc segments. …”
