Response of Eco-environmental Quality to Climate Change and Land Use in Loess Plateau from 2000 to 2020
[Objective] The spatial and temporal changes of ecological environmental quality (EEQ) in response to climate and land use changes on the Loess Plateau were analyzed in order to provide a basis for the formulation of reasonable ecological protection measures and land development on the Loess Plateau that will promote high-quality development.[Methods] Based on an improved remote sensing ecological environmental index and climate and land use data
we determined the spatial and temporal characteristics of EEQ on the Loess Plateau from 2001 to 2020 using Theil-Sen trend analysis at the image pixel scale.[Results] ① During the study period
EEQ values on the Loess Plateau showed small fluctuations of rising
falling
and rising
and the fluctuations slowed down from 2010 to 2020 compared with the time period of 2001 to 2010. EEQ values generally showed a spatial pattern of "higher in the southeast and lower in the northwest". Compared with the period from 2001 to 2010
the period of 2010 to 2020 exhibited an area of significant increase in EEQ that shifted from the southeast to the north-central region
and an area of significant decrease in EEQ that shifted from the northwest to the east. ② Precipitation had an overall positive effect on EEQ
with a significant positive correlation from 2001 to 2007. Due to the interference of other factors in the later period
the driving force increased
and the influence was small in areas with less vegetation coverage. Temperature had a negative effect on EEQ in most areas
with less effect compared with precipitation
and greater effect in dense urban areas. ③ During the study period
large transfers of cropland to grassland
grassland to woodland
and unused land to grassland were the main driving forces for the steady to good pattern of EEQ in the study area
while the transfer of cropland to construction land and of grassland to unused land were important factors causing the decline of EEQ.[Conclusion] EEQ on the Loess Plateau was influenced by both climate and land use. The influence of precipitation on EEQ was greater than that of temperature
and land use shifts generally showed positive effects on EEQ but with spatial heterogeneity. Greater attention should be given to regional ecological conservation in urban clusters within the region in the future.
