Abstract
Arable land is the basis of food production, the most valuable input in agricultural production, and an important factor in sustainable agricultural development and national food security. In China, the reduction and degradation of arable land due to industrialization and urbanization has gradually emerged as one of the most prominen challenges. In this context, the long-term dynamic monitoring of arable land quality becomes important for protecting arable land resources. However, little consideration has been given to optimizing sample points number and layout in previous monitoring studies on arable land quality. When considering the optimization of sample points, various strategies are needed, depending on the indicators. In addition, the distributio of soil properties displays spatial variations. However, existing sampling studies have paid little attention to spatial variations during scenarios with multiple indicators.Therefore, it is necessary to further investigate how to improve the efficiency and accuracy of arable land quality monitoring and evaluation by optimizing the number and layout of sample points when there are spatial variations in multiple indicators.
