Features: This book consists of two main parts: land type research and land evaluation research. The former explores some key technical issues of land types, including land classification, land type structure and succession, land type investigation and mapping. The latter briefly introduces the general issues of land evaluation research, followed by the introduction of land potential evaluation, land suitability evaluation, land economic evaluation, and the application of quantitative analysis methods in land evaluation. This book is a revised version based on the first edition published in 1992. The revision has added substantial content, such as broadening the knowledge of land structure to lay a solid foundation for further land evaluation. For example, in land economic evaluation, urban land evaluation has been added, and the scope of agricultural land evaluation has been expanded. Additionally, the revision places greater emphasis on the use of new technologies and methods, such as the application of GIS in land type and land evaluation research, incorporating recent achievements and examples.
