Abstract: Multiple cropping is a widespread agricultural practice that can partly reflect cropland use intensity. Previous studies have largely focused on harvest frequencies within an annual (e.g., multiple cropping frequency [MCF]) or multiannual basis. However, the complexity of cropland use intensity, which combines different cropping and fallow strategies, has not been fully investigated. Moreover, such information is particularly lacking at the regional scale.
