The results showed that the land expropriation benefits of provinces （cities） in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2006 to 2019 fluctuated significantly. From 2006 to 2009, the land expropriation benefits fluctuated greatly, and from 2010 to 2019, the land expropriation benefits fluctuated slightly.
