description Abstract Continuous, Accurate, and detailed information on main grain land (MGL) areas is crucial for provisioning food security and making policies affecting sustainable agricultural production. It still lacks a long-term MGL distribution dataset with fine spatial resolution. This study aimed to produce a long-term, high-resolution MGL distribution map for China. Here, we developed the change map of MGL with resolution 30 m in China for the period 1985–2020 using the Landsat image-based random forest algorithm on the GEE platform. Finally, the planting intensity, gain time and loss time of MGL was calculated. Results indicate that our mapping results are highly consistent with the annual planting area of various grain crops according to national statistics. A validation based on 3113 field survey samples with a 30-m resolution showed that the overall accuracy of MGL were 93.57%.
