The exponential growth of human activities has resulted in a substantial increase land use practices that not only modify the characteristics landscape patterns but also pose significant ecological risk (LER), with latter being pivotal for ecosystem conservation and sustainable social development. However, research on LER driving factors Irtysh River Basin (IRB) are limited. Objectively assessing high latitudes within Central Asia (Irtysh Basin) quantitatively identifying environmental its changes holds value ensuring security habitation amidst global change. In this study, spatial autocorrelation analysis method geographically weighted regression (GWR) geographical detector (Geo-Detector) models were utilized to reveal spatiotemporal based use/land cover (LULC) IRB from 1992 2020. findings indicate (1) temporal scale reveals slight increasing trend IRB.

Watershed ecological security (ES), which is fundamental to regional sustainable development, consists of risk (ER), ecosystem health (EH), and services (ESs). It remains unclear how describe the status ES by integrating three key characteristics, little known about differences among factors driving ER, EH, ESs, ES. Here, we established an integrated assessment system based on cause–effect relationship ESs. We quantified characteristics in Huaihe River Basin China 2020 pinpointed (i.e., natural environment, urbanization, accessibility) their spatial differentiation using Geodetector model. Results showed that: (1) study area, ER EH were at average level, ESs high level. (2) had positive correlations (Moran' I > 0.60), with having strongest dependence. (3) Natural environmental predominantly influenced Slope was primary driver for (q-value = 0.492 0.395, respectively), vegetation coverage major 0.506).

With the acceleration of urbanization and industrialization, land-use mode in mountainous areas has changed significantly, causing serious ecological destruction. Therefore, improving efficiency land-resource use enhancing protection are important issues. This study focuses on typical Guizhou Province to explore their significance not only for restoration but also sustainable socioeconomic development. In this study, we integrated framework interaction between transitions landscape patterns employed Spearman's rank correlation coefficient a spatial bivariate model reveal spatiotemporal heterogeneity transitions. The results showed that 1990–2020, cultivated, forest, grassland decreased by −1353.66, −749.98 − 541.72 km2 respectively, whereas water area, urban, other construction land increased 799.69, 542.62, 1230.90 km2, respectively. Moreover, cultivated converted into urban were 358.03 661.77 forest 3550.08 277.32 Different presented rapid expansion contraction characteristics, resulting an increase overall patch fragmentation, decrease uniformity, irregular patches, which enhanced diversity complexity.

Understanding the dynamic relationship between ecosystem service supply and urbanization demand, identifying underlying influencing mechanisms are crucial for sustainable development in global process. However, current studies mainly focused on coupling coordination of situation, rather than system. Thus, we introduced concept degree (DCCD) to address research gap. This study calculated rates composite index (ESSCI) demand (UDDCI) from 2000 2020 construct DCCD model case Yangtze River Delta region. Subsequently, analysed inherent causing regional differences DCCD. Our results indicated that (1) ESSCI UDDCI showed spatiotemporal heterogeneity, rate had significant north south, decreased east west. (2) In 2020, notable existed northern southern region, with zone being lower. The situation improved 2005 2015. (3) Global habitat quality a impact coordination. north, annual water yield significantly influenced coordination, while carbon sequestration it. These factors related land use.

The balance between ecosystem service supply–demand and landscape ecological risk are two crucial aspects influencing the sustainable development of regional ecosystems. Current evaluations ignore these lead to partial planning in urban areas. As a result, framework was built for areas based on multidimensional ecosystems high-efficiency land use planning. First, determine scale, supply demand five services were quantified—biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, water food production, recreation. Second, risks identified using "natural–social–landscape" research combined with spatial principal component analysis. Third, clustering analysis ratios then performed through autocorrelation, which aimed identify protection restoration priority. Finally, GeoDetector used main factors develop targeted measures. results revealed an imbalance total Beijing's plain area, coupled high level risk. exhibited significant negative correlation aggregation risk, area accounted approximately 31.9% area.

During period 2015, leading sharp increase were disasters vegetation coverage. These high-risk concentrated Sendai Bay its surroundings. From 2015 2021, instability primarily attributed reduction coverage, occurrence heightened rainfall erosion. mainly clustered within Tokyo-centered urban agglomeration. Spatial clustering obvious across all time periods. key contributing high focused "landscape pattern" criterion, specifically including land use cover. This demonstrated ability identify factors, these results provide visual decision-making sustainable development areas.
