Yi Zheng is a researcher affiliated with Guangxi University, China, working in the social sciences. Zheng’s Scopus-indexed record includes a co-authored article on farmland use transition and its relationship to grain carbon sink transfer in karst mountainous areas, published in the journal Land in 2025 [1]. This article presents the researcher’s profile and the suitability of the work for recognition under the Innovative Research Award at the International Academic Achievements & Awards event [2].

Abstract

Yi Zheng of Guangxi University is a social sciences researcher whose published work examines how changes in farmland use influence the transfer of grain-related carbon sinks in karst mountainous regions. The article, co-authored with Yuandong Zou, Xuejing Li, Xuhai Zhao, Yingying Li, Liangen Zeng and colleagues, appeared in Land in 2025 [1]. According to Scopus, the author has one indexed document, two citations and an h-index of one [2]. This page summarizes the researcher’s profile and the relevance of the work to innovative research recognition.

Keywords

Farmland use transition, grain carbon sink, karst mountainous areas, land use change, carbon transfer, sustainable agriculture, social sciences, Guangxi University.

Introduction

Karst mountainous areas are ecologically fragile landscapes where limited arable land, thin soils and rugged terrain place particular constraints on agricultural production. Changes in how farmland is used, including shifts in cropping structure, abandonment, or conversion to other uses, can alter both food production and the carbon balance of a region. Research into these processes therefore sits at the intersection of land management, food security and climate-related policy.

Yi Zheng’s work contributes to this field through a study published in the open-access journal Land, which is indexed in Scopus [1][3]. The International Academic Achievements & Awards event provides a platform for acknowledging researchers whose work offers fresh perspectives on contemporary scholarly questions [4].

Research Profile

Yi Zheng is affiliated with Guangxi University in China, and the researcher’s subject area is classified under the social sciences. The Scopus author record (ID 60117628800) lists one document, two citations and an h-index of one [2]. The researcher also maintains an ORCID record, which links scholarly outputs to a persistent identifier.

• Institution: Guangxi University, China
• Subject area: Social Sciences
• Scopus indicators: 1 document, 2 citations, h-index of 1
• Persistent identifier: ORCID 0009-0000-4609-6923

Research Contributions

The principal contribution is a collaborative study on the effects of farmland use transition on grain carbon sink transfer in karst mountainous areas [1]. The work links land-use change with the carbon implications of grain production, an approach that connects agricultural geography with environmental accounting. Its focus on karst terrain addresses a setting that is comparatively underrepresented in broader land-use literature.

• Examination of farmland use transition as a driver of change in regional carbon sinks.
• Attention to grain production as a carbon-relevant land-use activity.
• Regional focus on ecologically sensitive karst mountainous landscapes.
• Collaborative authorship across a multi-researcher team.

Publications

The Scopus profile lists the following publication [2]:

• Zou, Y., Li, X., Zhao, X., Li, Y., Zeng, L., et al. (2025). Impact of Farmland Use Transition on Grain Carbon Sink Transfer in Karst Mountainous Areas. Land. [1]

Research Impact

As recorded by Scopus, the article has received two citations, giving the author an h-index of one [2]. Given that the paper was published in 2025, these figures reflect an early stage of citation accumulation and may change as the work becomes more widely read. Publication in Land, an indexed journal, also makes the article openly discoverable to researchers and policymakers interested in land management and sustainability [3].

Award Suitability

The Innovative Research Award at the International Academic Achievements & Awards event recognizes research that introduces original approaches or perspectives [4]. Yi Zheng’s work may be considered relevant for the following reasons:

• It addresses an applied question connecting land use, food production and carbon dynamics.
• It focuses on a distinctive regional context that has particular environmental sensitivity.
• It is peer-reviewed, published in 2025, and indexed in Scopus.
• It demonstrates early scholarly engagement, evidenced by existing citations.

Conclusion

Yi Zheng of Guangxi University has contributed to research on farmland use transition and grain carbon sink transfer in karst mountainous areas, a topic relevant to sustainable land management. While the bibliometric record is at an early stage, the published work and its initial citations indicate a developing research profile. The nomination under the Innovative Research Award acknowledges this contribution and its potential for further scholarly development [1][2].
