“…Many studies have carried out the ecological risk assessment of China [7,16], and the research regions involved Heihe River, Shiyang River, Manas River in arid area, Taihu Lake, and Poyang Lake in humid area [16,18,[62][63][64][65]. Muyibul et al examined the spatiotemporal changes of land use from 1995 to 2015 in an oasis in the middle reaches of the Keriya River, southern Tarim Basin [66], on the base of previous studies, we researched the landscape ecological risk of the mainstream of the TR. Although with the growth of population in the Alar Reclamation Area, the forest land in the upstream of the TR has been converted into farmland, which has increased vegetation coverage, and high ecological risk areas have increased significantly at the same time.…”

The Tarim River (TR), the longest inland river at an arid area in China, plays a critical role in the sustainable development of the regional ecological environment. This study presents the spatial-temporal variations in the vegetation coverage at regional and pixel scales and its driving factors on the TR mainstream. The latest dataset of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and a vegetation coverage index (fc) over the period from 2000–2015 were analyzed with the unary linear regression and the partial correlation. On the basis of land use data, we further built the landscape ecological risk index and assessed the ecological risk level of the mainstream. Our results suggest that the vegetation coverage index demonstrated fluctuations but denoted a generally upward trend in the TR mainstream, the vegetation improvement areas are far greater than the degraded areas during the study period. Apparently, the overflow days in the TR mainstream and the cumulative amount of water transport are the two main factors that dominate the vegetation coverage. The ecological risk level varies throughout the TR with a high-to-low spatial distribution from upstream to downstream, and the overall landscape ecological risk of the whole basin exhibits an upward tendency. Above all, our study provides a framework with the remote sensing data to assess vegetation coverage and landscape ecological risk which can help design and implement reliable strategies for the ecological management and vegetation restoration in the Tarim River Basin.

“…The climate is a typically arid continental climate with an average annual temperature of 11.6°C, precipitation of approximately 44.7 mm, and average evaporation of about 2,500 mm. The endorheic river basin consists of five prominent landforms of upstream mountains and piedmont Gobi, midstream alluvium and diluvium open area (Keriya Oasis), and downstream natural desert oasis—Daryaboyi, with the terrain declining from 5,460 to 1,180 m (Muyibul et al., 2018; Seydehmet et al., 2018).…”

“…It was observed that although researchers have used different types of satellite images based on the size of the study area, research goals, objectives, and questions, the spatial resolution of images has undoubtedly played the leading role in employing images. However, as shown in Figure 2, a large number of papers have employed Landsat in their studies (more than 60%), mainly because of its ability to provide access to almost 40 years of data records (Aslami & Ghorbani, 2018;Li et al, 2018;Muyibul, Xia, Muhtar, Shi, & Zhang, 2018). Our findings also showed that combining images with different types of spatial/temporal resolution (very high to high or low) from the same or different sensors, integrating active and optical remote sensing data, and fusing multispectral images with hyperspectral or Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data, were frequently applied to improve the accuracy of LU/LC maps.…”

Large-scale projects, such as the construction of railways and highways, usually cause an extensive Land Use Land Cover Change (LULCC). The China-Central Asia-West Asia Economic Corridor (CCAWAEC), one key large-scale project of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), covers a region that is home to more than 1.6 billion people. Although numerous studies have been conducted on strategies and the economic potential of the Economic Corridor, reviewing LULCC mapping studies in this area has not been studied. This study provides a comprehensive review of the recent research progress and discusses the challenges in LULCC monitoring and driving factors identifying in the study area. The review will be helpful for the decision-making of sustainable development and construction in the Economic Corridor. To this end, 350 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, as well as book chapters were analyzed based on 17 attributes, such as main driving factors of LULCC, data collection methods, classification algorithms, and accuracy assessment methods. It was observed that: (1) rapid urbanization, industrialization, population growth, and climate change have been recognized as major causes of LULCC in the study area; (2) LULCC has, directly and indirectly, caused several environmental issues, such as biodiversity loss, air pollution, water pollution, desertification, and land degradation; (3) there is a lack of well-annotated national land use data in the region; (4) there is a lack of reliable training and reference datasets to accurately study the long-term LULCC in most parts of the study area; and (5) several technical issues still require more attention from the scientific community. Finally, several recommendations were proposed to address the identified issues.
