The quality of the habitats and ecosystem services are significantly impacted by ecological land fragmentation brought on human activities. However, specific driving mechanism comprehensive landscape habitat is still unclear. This study took cities Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou along Taihu Lake basin as its research region. spatiotemporal variations in their relationship with were explored land-use dynamic rate, transfer matrix, indices, Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Tradeoffs (InVEST) model, Geographically Temporally Weighted Regression (GTWR) model during 2000–2020 period. findings revealed that: (1) On whole, area rose, northern eastern areas region had greatest transformations use/land cover (LULC). (2) Within period, index showed a fluctuating growth trend, there regions large high value clustered. (3) In whole deteriorated, more concentrated degradation seen around woodland construction land. (4) Numerous factors contributed to regional temporal changes effect varied between regions. These could provide theoretical guidance for protection, improvement, restoration similar environments.

Hillside urbanization currently provides the most economical solution for urban expansion. However, limited attention was paid to characteristics, processes, and patterns of gradient expansion construction land (GEC) in mountainous regions its impact on landscape fragmentation. This study suggests an approach identify GEC quantify spatial fragmentation cultivated ecological land. The results are as follows: (1) can be categorized 'unidirectional', 'bidirectional', or 'multidirectional' expansion, influenced by proportion topography different directions cities. magnitude is correlated with city's economic level. (2) leads increasing trend fragmentation, nearly a three-fold increase arable two-fold within focus areas over 20 years. (3) diminishes distance, primarily influencing 3 km. this provide methodological reference identifying key characteristics GEC, serve theoretical basis reducing risks process development promoting sustainable development.

Most studies have assessed and constructed landscape ecological security patterns (LESPs) primarily from the perspective of morphology by employing morphological spatial pattern analysis, with little attention paid to fundamental ecosystem attributes (such as functions stability). Thus, this study proposed a comprehensive evaluation optimization framework for LESPs "mode function stability" integrating assessment pattern, function, stability. A was conducted using Minimum Cumulative Resistance (MCR) model in Guanzhong Plain Urban Agglomeration (GPUA) research area. The results showed that: (1) Generally, quality urban agglomerations relatively low because large area agricultural vegetation, high human interference, fragmentation, which caused levels (2) were mainly determined stability due low-quality ecosystems, rapid transformation, severe anthropogenic disturbances. (3) There variation certain type their different structures interference across space agglomerations. According "pattern-function-stability" framework, sources corridors covered natural forest crucial cornerstone constructing LESPs, rivers crop planting areas inevitably selected corridors, but needed further improvement construction. (4) can assess sustainability maintaining facilitating identification objectives or measures individual regional infrastructure construction practices.

ABSTRACT Effectively quantifying plantation forest fragmentation is crucial for vegetation restoration and management on the Loess Plateau. Forest area density (FAD) effectively measures fragmentation, with multiscale sensitivity analysis essential determining appropriate window scale threshold. This study uses data from different geomorphological types (hilly gully plateau region) of Various sizes are applied to evaluate FAD threshold curve its derivative a stable threshold, while structural equation model employed analyze drivers fragmentation. The results as follows: (1) variability decreases increasing size, leveling off after reaching (2) Thresholds vary by type county. (3) Two principal components explain 81.27% stabilization variation, strong correlations between similar types. (4) Fragmentation slowed 2000 2022, hilly region more fragmented than region. (5) Stand structure mitigates topographic climate change influences showing heterogeneity. “Core” maintain stability, “Islet” drive emphasizes importance scale‐specific adaptive strategies in mitigating supports optimizing ecological targeted conservation strategies, promoting sustainable

The division of the territorial space functional area is primary method to study rational exploitation and use land space. research on Production–Living–Ecological Space (PLES) change its motivating factors has major implications for managing optimizing spatial planning may open up a new direction inquiries into environmental global scale. In this study, transfer matrix landscape pattern index methods were used analyze temporal changes as well evolution features PLES in Chaohu Lake Basin from 2000 2020. Using principal component analysis grey correlation analysis, driving indicators degree influence various types determined. concluded with few findings. First, standpoint structure, Basin’s agricultural production (APS) makes more than 60% total area, it urban living (ULS) are two most visible categories. Second, demonstrates that holds significant advantage within overall structure landscape. Although there less connectedness between different types, dominance, fragmentation, tends be varied. Third, findings demonstrate natural climate, population development, industrial economic development three PLES. Finally, order promote formation intensive efficient space, appropriate beautiful ecological proposed carry out regulation according factors, national policies, other actual conditions.
