Suitability prediction of potential arable land in southeast coastal area of China.

ABSTRACT: Cultivated land in coastal areas is highly vulnerable to climate and has continued to degrade in recent years. To ensure food security in the southeast coastal region, it is necessary to focus on the cultivated land degradation caused by climate change. This study predicted the potential suitable areas for cultivated land in the southeast coastal region using 32 environmental variables by the R-optimized MaxEnt model. Then, the spatial distribution pattern and centroid migration trend of the potential habitat area under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios (SSP126 and SSP585) in the future 2021-2040 (2040s) and 2041-2060 (2060s) were modeled. The results are as follows: (1) The main environmental variables affecting the distribution of cultivated land are elevation and daily range of aver
