The northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains city cluster (NSTM), as a key urban agglomeration for development western China, has experienced rapid regional economic and high population concentration since twenty-first century. Accompanied by increase in human activities NSTM, it significantly altered land use structure, leading to varying levels habitat disturbance degradation. In this paper, based on cover (LULC) NSTM from 2000 2020. InVEST model was employed assess quality, revealing notable spatial temporal variations. A geoprobe further explore drivers spatially distributed pattern quality research region. results show that (1) 2020, largely characterized grassland, unused land, cropland terms use, with expansion construction land; (2) overall study area is poor, clear distribution south low north, predominance grades, trend decreasing then increasing shown direction; (3) under influence urbanization region, degradation degree shows distinct radial middle at edges, “increase-decrease-increase” over time; (4) geodetector altitude type have greatest indicating region primarily influenced use.
