Overview

Reports spatiotemporal dynamics of land use changes in a semiarid watershed, highlighting significant human impacts and climate effects.

Key Points

  • The aim is to understand the spatiotemporal changes in land use and the driving factors influencing these transformations in the West Liaohe River Basin.
  • Integrated three decades of land use/land cover data with meteorological, ecological, and socioeconomic variables.
  • Employed obstacle diagnosis and structural equation modeling to analyze data.
  • Examined spatial distribution patterns of land use types.
  • Vegetation coverage increased from 53.15% in 1990 to 61.32% in 2020.
  • Cropland and sandy land areas declined, and landscape fragmentation increased.
  • Human activities were the primary driver of land use changes, with negative effects from population and GDP.
  • Precipitation positively influenced grassland to forest conversion.
