Abstract:Based on the latest highprecision DEM, slope map, 0.5m digital orthophoto image of the third land survey and the measurement data of ridge coefficient in the second land survey of Shandong province, through reselecting samples, the ridge coefficient in Shandong province has been measured. It is showed that there is a certain regularity between the ridge coefficient of cultivated land and the types of cultivated land and landforms. The ridge coefficient of slopes with the same slope grade in the hilly region of eastern Shandong and the mountainous region of central and southern Shandong province is higher than that of terraced fields, and the ridge coefficient of terraced fields and slopes in the hilly region of eastern Shandong province is higher than that in the mountainous region of central and southern Shandong. Comparing with the ridge coefficient of the second land survey, the ridge coefficient of the third land survey generally shows a downward trend. According to the statistics of the third national land survey, the farmland area in Shandong province accounts for about 3.5% of the total cultivated land area. It still has great potential. It can provide important references for land survey, farmland protection and grain area estimation.
