“…The landscape diversity of the flatland area is a response to the development of the society and economy. The expansion of urban construction land is conducive to population agglomeration and job creation [55]. The development of the transportation industry, although it has brought about an increase in landscape fragmentation, has facilitated the circulation of people and materials [41].…”

Taking Yuxi City, a typical mountain-flatland in the southwestern karst mountainous area, as an example, we used six remote sensing images from 1995 to 2018 as the main data sources, and the grid scale was used to calculate the landscape pattern index in order to analyze the temporal-spatial evolution characteristics of the landscape pattern. The results are shown as follows: (1) At the class level, most landscape indices and fragmentation degrees of landscape units in the flatland area are significantly higher than those in the mountainous area. The layout of construction land and cultivated land is also more concentrated than that in the mountainous area, but the central tendency of forest and grass in the mountainous area is more eye-catching. (2) At the landscape level, although the landscape diversity index and landscape shape index of both the mountainous areas and the flatland areas decrease in the low-value area and increase in the high-value area, the proportion of high-value areas in the flatland area is noticeably greater. The proportion of the high-value areas of the largest patch index in the mountainous area is significantly greater, and in the flatland area, the low-value area continues to expand while the middle and high value areas continue to shrink. (3) The landscape shape of the flatland area is becoming more complex, and the landscape units in the mountainous area tend to be single. The natural landscape of forest and grass in the mountainous area continues to expand and tends to be contiguous, while the man-made landscape in the flatland area continually increases and shows fragmentation, reflecting the pattern characteristics formed by the coupling evolution of land use between two regions. The urban expansion and the increase in the construction land in the flatland area are mutually causal with the decrease in cultivated land and the increase in forest and grass in the mountainous area.

“…Nowadays, an emergent worldwide problem is that landscapes are facing rapid pattern changes. These changes are the consequences of man-made activities like economic development and urban sprawl [3] and intensive agricultural practices and deforestation [4], alongside the increase in population and, therefore, a boost in consumption patterns [5]. The results of land use changes manifest in the form of ecosystem degradation [6] and land and habitat fragmentation [7].…”

Considering that land use and land cover (LULC) change is one of the most important challenges to biodiversity today, we used Copernicus products to analyze LULC changes at the level of the “Nordul Gorjului de Vest” Natura 2000 site (Romania) from 1990 to 2018. The interpretation of the impact of these changes on areas with very high potential for three regulating ecosystem services (ESs) (local climate regulation, regulation of waste, and water purification) was performed. Forest habitats are the major LULC class category in the “Nordul Gorjului de Vest” Natura 2000 site, with broad-leaved forest as the dominant forest class. In terms of areas lost or gained by the different LULC classes for each analyzed time interval, most transformations took place in the period 2000–2006, changes which were also reflected in the overall study period (1990–2018). During this time frame, the conversion of transitional forest shrubs into broad-leaved forest, which is the second largest transition in terms of absolute area changed, led, in terms of contribution rates, to an increase in the areas with very high potential for two of the three analyzed ESs. The conversion of transitional woodland shrub into broad-leaved forest was conductive only to synergy for all the pairwise interactions between the three ESs.

“…Landscape pattern is the product of long-term interaction of various biological and non-biological processes within a certain area (Zhao Q et al, 2020). It is the spatial arrangement and combination of landscape elements with different patch sizes, shapes and attributes within a speci c time and region (Wang Q et al, 2022;Jian Y et al, 2022). Analysis of landscape pattern change can have a knowledge of the spatial pattern of land system dynamic process and time (Wu J et al, 2019).…”

Taking Xinjiang as the research area, this paper constructed an ecological risk model based on data of Land use/cover Quality Index (LQI), Climate Quality Index (CQI), and Soil Quality Index (SQI) to simulate the ecological risk of Xinjiang and predict it under different scenarios (Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSPs) at 2100. There are five conclusions drawn: (1) In 2100, after reviewing different scenarios in Xinjiang, it can be seen that the LULCC risk level is dominated by the medium-quality risk level. The areas with medium-quality risk level account for about 70% of the total area of Xinjiang. The low-quality risk areas are mainly distributed in the Ili Valley in northern Xinjiang, the Keketuohai in the Altay region, and the northern Junggar Basin. Relatively high- and high-quality risk areas are mainly concentrated in residential areas on the northern and southern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. (2) In 2100, the high-quality climatic and ecological risk areas of different SSPs in Xinjiang are mainly distributed in mountains, Gobi, desert, and other regions. The medium-quality climatic and ecological risk areas are mainly distributed in the central and eastern regions of Xinjiang. (3) Under different scenarios in 2100, the spatial distribution of soil quality in Xinjiang is roughly the same, which is mainly low-quality. (4) Under different scenarios in 2100, the spatial distribution of ecological risk levels in Xinjiang is mainly dominated by areas with low and medium ecological risk levels, accounting for nearly 70% of the total area. (5) From 2020 to 2100, the ecological risk levels of different scenarios show a decreasing trend in sequence. Typically, from 2020 to SSP370 (2100), most areas change from being at a previous medium ecological risk level to being at a relatively high/high ecological risk level. Under the SSP585 scenario, a large area of areas has changed from the original low ecological risk level to the current high ecological risk level. Only a small area of areas is showing an opposite area change.
