Abstract

Cultivated land quality is an essential agricultural resource and production element. To increase cultivated land quality in a targeted way, it is crucial to understand the features of regional elements that constrain its quality. In order to diagnose the restriction factors affecting the improvement of cultivated land quality grades and conduct a quantitative analysis of the regional cultivated land quality improvement restriction factors, the restriction index model was used in this study to analyze the distribution characteristics of cultivated land quality grades in East Anhui, China. The results show that there are six main restriction factors of cultivated land quality in the study area, which are effective soil layer thickness, soil organic matter, soil acidity and alkalinity, plough layer texture, irrigation capacity, drainage capacity, and obstacle factors, among which the main restriction factors of the first to third grades are soil organic matter, soil acidity and alkalinity, and the main restriction factors of the fourth to seventh grades are soil organic matter, and soil acidity and alkalinity. The main restriction factors of the soil organic matter, effective soil layer thickness, and obstacle factors are the key restriction factors in the ninth to tenth classes.
