The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei major mineral belt represents a significant economic development area in China. Effective monitoring and assessment of the regional landscape ecological risk can provide scientific basis for an protection strategy environmental belt. In this study, index was constructed based on land use/land cover, spatial temporal variations were subsequently analyzed. Furthermore, contribution main driving factors quantified results demonstrate that: (1) use types within study underwent changes from 1985 to 2022. predominant type transfer cropland, which primarily converted construction land, grassland, woodland. (2) central-northern western parts is higher, while southwest lower. Using 2015 as time point, found change, with average value all classes 2015-2022 being lower than that 1985-2015, exception high-risk area. mean annual obviously higher during 1985-2015 period comparison period, regions exhibiting high risk. (3) There positive correlation between risks different periods. pattern exhibits both 'high-high' aggregation 'low-low' aggregation. aggregations are located northern, central area, zones mainly southeastern region. (4) distribution predominantly shaped by population density slope. context interactive factor detection, interaction slope temperature, night-time illumination slope, precipitation identified exerting more influence observed differentiation It multiple drivers had pronounced impact any single factor. findings research project rationale reference future use, resource optimization, differential management restoration. considerable importance terms maintaining security patterns.
