Application of Path Analysis in the Rural Greening Space Selection——A Case Study of Lu'an City,Anhui Province
The farmland,construction land and water area account for 94.78% of the land resources in the grain production functional area of Lu'an City with limited land left for scale afforestation,and the"four sides"(roadside,waterside,house side and village side) space is the only space for improving the greening rate.In this paper,an analysis was made on the 9 elements of the"four sides"using path analysis method.The results showed that,in the grain production functional area,46.66% of the forest greening was determined by the"four sides"elements,in which the raised path through fields,village,township location,rural road and inland beach were the 5 key elements for improving the greening rate.The results could provide reference for rural greening space selection.
