What is How do government policies promote greening? Evidence from China about?
The large-scale greening observed across China in recent decades has been shown to be the result of human activities, and existing studies have also revealed the positive effects of policies on vegetation dynamics. However, the effects and mechanisms of detailed greening policies in China still remain unclear and targeted analyses are needed to offer scientific guidance for further policymaking in the pursuit of nationwide green development. In this study, Sen's trend estimator and the Mann-Kendall test were used to analyze the spatiotemporal changes in vegetation cover from 2000 to 2015. The effects of five main government policies on vegetation cover (i.e., afforestation, urban greening, agricultural improvement, nature reserve, and natural forest conservation policies) were investigated by using Kendall's tau-b correlation, as well as buffer zones and fluctuation analyses model. The results showed that China has experienced large-scale greening, despite the local degradation of vegetation in some areas. Policy-driven afforestation has played an important role in large-scale greening, while policies related to agricultural intensification have enhanced vegetation cover. Although
