加强水稻耕作的水资源管理及相关土地的利用需要增加劳力投入来改变当地的景观。在发掘长江下游茅山遗址保存完好的新石器时代晚期稻田时,应用地质考古调查研究获得了晚全新世关键时期的水资源管理、农业集约化、环境变迁和社会发展之间变化关系的详细信息。这些信息表明多数时候水稻集约化耕作的发展得益于成功的水资源管理及稻田管理,但该地区日益干旱、海面变化不规律及水资源管理上劳务投 Strengthening water management of paddy fields and the use of associated land requires more labor input to change the landscape. Geological and archaeological investigations were used to obtain detailed information on the relationship between water resources management, agricultural intensification, environmental change and social development in the key period of the Late Holocene when the well-preserved Neolithic rice fields in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were discovered. This information shows that most of the time the intensive farming of rice has benefited from successful water resources management and paddy field management, but the area is increasingly droughts, with irregular changes in the sea surface and labor administration on water resources management
