“…Specifically, there was an increase in farmland, construction-use land, and mining land. At the same time, grassland, unused land, and forest land exhibited a decreased pattern, consistent with earlier research conducted by (Ngabire et al 2022, Wen et al 2023. Among the 'three increases,' the expansion of irrigated farmland primarily results from rapid population growth and accelerated agricultural economic development.…”

In response to increasing ecological and environmental challenges in arid areas, it is of great significance to investigate the ecosystem service value (ESV), accompanying the changes in ecological sensitivity for the protection of ecologically vulnerable areas. Our analysis seeks to elucidate the ESV and ecological sensitivity changes in the middle and lower reaches of the Shiyang River to determine the trends and influencing factors of ESV under changing land use patterns.The key findings include: 1) From 1995 to 2020, the ESV in the study area witnessed fluctuations, culminating in an overall decline of 1.249×108 yuan. 2) In 2020, sensitivity coefficients (CSs) for ESV were as follows: 0.4335 for grassland, 0.2586 for farmland, and 0.1170 for unused land within the study area. Furthermore, coefficients of improved cross-sensitivity (CICSs) for the reciprocal transformation of farmland, grassland, and unused land were 1.10, 1.18, and 1.54, respectively, indicating the pivotal role of the three land types in driving ESV fluctuations.

“…Due to the limitation of the available dataset, the time scale of this analysis is up to 2015. Through further investigation of literature and comparison with other historical land use datasets, the oasis in SRB was found to have continued to expand since 2015, with the area of the artificial oasis increasing and that of the natural oasis decreasing [27,33,47,57], consistent with the trend detected from our analysis for the period of 2010-2015. Yet, the specific change modes and natural evolution direction of the oasis after 2015 are still uncertain.…”

The variability of the natural environment and the complexity of human activities result in dynamic changes in oasis areas, which is directly related to the sustainable development of arid and semi-arid areas. In order to better balance economic development and environmentally sustainable development, based on land use data and social and economic data from 1980 to 2015, this paper analyzed the oasis change characteristics under natural and human factors in the Shiyang River Basin in Northwest China. The results indicated that the oasis in the Shiyang River Basin showed an expansion trend from 1980 to 2015, with the expansion mainly occurring in the diluvial and alluvial fan, and along the middle and lower reaches of the river. The oasis changed actively in areas at an elevation of 1350 m, with a slope of 2°, at the distance of 1500 m to rivers, and with precipitation of 120 mm and temperature of 15 °C. Furthermore, the oasis mainly evolved towards gentler slopes and lower altitudes, and migrated closer to rivers before 1992 and farther away from rivers afterwards. Population growth and economic development were the important inducers of oasis change, and government policies on agricultural benefits and ecological conservation also influenced the oasis change, especially after 2000. The evolution patterns of oasis distribution revealed in this study can provide a reference for promoting oasis ecological restoration and sustainable development.

“…The Ecological degradation (ED) trajectory identified in our analysis suggests a greater risk of desertification on grassland in western China, particularly in the provinces in the Tibet Plateau. Despite the Chinese government's efforts to restore the ecological environment (Ngabire et al., 2022; Z. Zhang & Huisingh, 2018), uncertain climate change and aggressive mitigation policies pose a serious threat to the sustainability of these projects.…”

Predicting future land system changes driven by anthropogenic and climactic impacts can help to explore adaptation and mitigation pathways for regional and global sustainable development. Here, we project land cover changes in China from 2030 to 2100 at a resolution of 1 km × 1 km under eight scenarios based on the Scenario Model Intercomparison Project (ScenraioMIP), which are extracted from Land Use Harmonization version 2 (LUH2). We use a rule‐based method to classify and map 9 land cover dynamic trajectories at patch scale to present land system changes. At the provincial scale we used hierarchical clustering to identify archetypes of land cover change, which can predict ecological risks for future management in western provinces. Our results reveal that anthropogenic mitigation policies under high mitigation pressure do not result in positive impacts on the land system, but rising temperatures will provide a great opportunity for ecological restoration in some regions.
