Abstract：

The video on GIES case 15 on Feng County Pear in the Ancient Yellow River Flood-Plain Areas presents the natural environment and socio-economic features of Feng County through visual graphics and audiovisual media. Feng County pears have a cultivation history of over 200 years. This century-old legacy has established the pears as a premium geographic brand. The case study area, situated in the Ancient Yellow River Floodplain Areas, lies at the core of the Huaihai Economic Zone and on the southeastern edge of the North China Plain. It is part of the Yellow River alluvial plain, with 46.6% of the land covered by sandy soil. The region has a warm temperate, semi-humid monsoon climate, characterized by long sunshine hours and favorable light conditions. Water quality meets the standards outlined in the Standards for Farmland Irrigation Water Quality. The soil is a yellow fluvo-aquic soil developed from Yellow River alluvium, with a sandy topsoil and deep soil layers. Currently, Feng County has achieved a well-balanced cultivation of early-, mid-, and late-ripening pear varieties, thereby enhancing both market competitiveness and economic benefits. An automatic habitat monitoring station has been established in the region, enabling the recording and visualization of parameters such as pear tree growth, pest and disease occurrence, soil properties, soil fertility, moisture levels, yield, and fruit quality. Both the habitat and the products featured in the case are traceable via QR code and standard registration number. The case study video is archived in .mp4 format, and has a runtime of 4 minutes and 59 seconds.
