“…With increasing urbanization around Poyang Lake (Michishita et al., 2012 ), the lake's area has been reduced to less than 2000 km 2 (Han et al., 2015 ). In the Poyang Lake wetland, the primary threat to nature conservation is the deterioration of habitat quality brought about by land use changes (Yang, Gao, et al., 2020 ; Yang, Xia, et al., 2020 ; Zhang, Liao, et al., 2023 ; Zhang, Wang, et al., 2023 ). The composition of land use emerges as a significant factor to this, and it also has a substantial impact on the lake's water quality (An et al., 2022 ; Wang et al., 2023 ).…”

“…They reflect species' genetic variation and potential during reproduction (Sharp et al., 2018 ). In past studies, many scholars have successfully applied the InVEST model to assess habitat quality (Qiao et al., 2023 ; Wang, Ma, et al., 2022 ; Wang, Ye, et al., 2022 ; Wei et al., 2022 ; Zhang, Liao, et al., 2023 ; Zhang, Wang, et al., 2023 ).…”

Poyang Lake is an essential natural wetland in the Yangtze River basin and plays a vital role in maintaining the ecosystem function and ecological security in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. However, the relative importance and spatial heterogeneity of the impacts of human activities and land use changes on ecological security needs to be further explored. Here, we analyzed the habitat quality level around Poyang Lake in 2022 and explored the factors of habitat quality change from a geographical perspective. The land use structure changes around the Poyang Lake basin from 2000 to 2022 were quantitatively analyzed, and then the relative importance and spatial heterogeneity of each factor on ecological security changes were investigated using geographic probes. The results show that (1) The worst quality habitat (0–0.1) consists mainly of construction land (1624.9 km2) with an area of 1634.64 km2; (2) Construction land continues to increase with the most significant change, and the dynamic land use attitude is 0.47. Grassland and mudflats have the greatest decrease. The increase in cultivated land in different periods is mainly due to the shift of water surface and forest land; (3) The drivers of habitat quality in Poyang Lake were significantly influenced by the interaction of socioeconomic factors. The explanatory power of population density interacting with the total year‐end population and population density interacting with administrative area exceeded 0.84. These values were higher than the explanatory power of each individual factor, indicating that habitat quality was primarily associated with population density, total year‐end population, and administrative area. These results suggest that human activities contribute to the degradation of wetlands around Poyang Lake. This study has significant reference value for coordinating human–land relationships in Poyang Lake, optimizing land management policy, and improving the sustainable development of cities.
