Healthy watershed environments are essential for socioeconomic sustainability. The long-term monitoring and assessment of ecological provide a timely accurate understanding ecosystem dynamics, informing industry policy adjustments. This study focused on the upper-middle Fen River Basin (UMFRB) in eastern China’s Loess Plateau analyzed spatial temporal characteristics eco-quality from 2000 to 2023 by calculating remote sensing index (RSEI) via Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. In addition, this also explored trends future consistency RSEI, as well impacts natural anthropogenic factors RSEI variations. findings revealed that (1) average value increased 0.51 0.57 over past 24 years, reflecting an overall improvement eco-quality, although urban centers Taiyuan exhibited localized degradation. (2) Hurst was 0.468, indicating anti-consistency, with most regions showing decline or exhibiting stochastic fluctuations. (3) Elevation, temperature, precipitation, slope, land use intensity significantly correlated quality. Natural dominate densely vegetated regions, whereas populated plains. These results valuable guidance formulating targeted restoration measures, protection policies, engineering solutions.
