Abstract:
      Baseline determination is the foundation and key link for identifying and assessing agricultural environmental damage. It is an important basis for quantifying the spatiotemporal scope of the damage, determining recovery objectives, quantifying the damage value, and assessing recovery effects. In this article, the characteristics of agricultural environmental damage, baseline overview, determination principles and investigation indicators, technical methods, and selection order are systematically studied on the basis of practical cases. The results indicate that there are significant differences in the determination of baselines for different agricultural receptors, and the order of baseline selection should be treated differently. The unified baseline standards specified in the“Technical guidelines for identification and assessment of environmental damage-General principles and key components-Part 1:General principles”should not just be adopted mechanically. The selection order and method should be comprehensively determined on the basis of different types of receptors, such as agricultural organisms, environmental factors, ecosystems, and environmental damage characteristics.
