Farmers' Pro-Environmental Behaviors in China's Aohan Dryland Farming System

Supplementary research data from a 2026 study analyzing the interaction between cultural identity and economic incentives on farmers' pro-environmental behaviors. The study uses an ordered probit model and heterogeneity analysis of full-time and part-time farmers within a FAO-designated Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Findings highlight the dual role of economic incentives, showing crowding-in and crowding-out effects depending on incentive type and farmer livelihood.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between cultural value recognition and pro-environmental behaviors based on the study's findings.
• Analyzing heterogeneity in incentive effectiveness between full-time and part-time farmer groups as described in the results.
• Investigating crowding-in and crowding-out patterns between subsidy/price incentives and cultural factors mentioned in the discussion.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific, theoretically sampled case study: China's Aohan Dryland Farming System, a FAO-designated Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS).
• The underlying study employs an ordered probit model and heterogeneity analysis, suggesting a structured analytical approach.
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 21.6 KB DOCX file, indicating it is likely a supplementary document (e.g., a paper, table, or appendix) rather than a primary data table, limiting direct machine-readability.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, making field semantics and structure unknown without manual inspection.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
