Introduction Investigation of the evolutionary trend habitat quality in karst and rocky desertification zones is crucial for enhancing ecological security conservation. Methods Analysis land use statistics from years 2000, 2010, 2020, changes (HQ) (LULC) between 2000 2020 were analyzed using Huize County Yunnan Province as an example. The InVEST FLUS models applied to simulate LULC under different scenarios 2030 2040 assess spatial gradients at each timepoint factors influencing them. Results findings indicated that (1) predominant types are grassland woodland, experiencing most significant growth urbanized areas, main sources which paddy fields high-cover grassland. (2) was average displayed a consistent decline. distribution pattern indicates low HQ urban high outskirts, south-west, north-east. In all four scenarios, predominantly decreases areas regions with dense concentration built-up land. (3) Habitat primarily affected by type use, NDVI being secondary determinant. Discussion environment must be restored safeguarded focus on priorities harmonious development scenarios. This study provides methodological lessons ecorestoration policymakers karstic desertification.

Desertification is the primary obstacle to achieving sustainable development in arid ecosystems. The main stream of Tarim River an important component China's ecological security strategy, specifically within framework "two screens and three belts," serving as part "northern sand control belt" civilization corridor. Effectively assessing understanding dynamics desertification its driving factors crucial for United Nations Sustainable Development Goals promoting civilization. Here, based on Convention Combat Desertification's definition utilizing Landsat series satellite imagery provided by Google Earth Engine, we quantified process River's from 1990 2020. Furthermore, employed panel data models analyze evaluate roles climate change, socio-economic factors, policies desertification. We found that 2020, initially intensified (with 15% area experiencing desertification) between 2000 but subsequently reversed, with only 0.6% undergoing Positive accounted 55.3% key behind reversal over past 30 years. Initially, predominant exacerbating were extensive economic (-37.2%) population growth (-48.7%) 2000, which later improved. Overall, some extent exacerbated (-14.9%), while change had a relatively low positive effect (11.8%). also explored whether would necessarily play role combating reasonable policy support scientifically sound implementation governance measures are crucial. Based this, suggest actively engaging interdisciplinary research linking results practical situations formulate prevention control.
