Simulation of Land Use Change and Habitat Quality in the Yellow River Basin under Multiple Scenarios

Habitat quality is the key to regional ecological restoration and green development, land use change an essential factor affecting habitat quality. Studying spatial temporal evolution characteristics of under multiple scenarios significant for management, preventing future environmental risks. We used improved Logistic-CA-Markov (Logistic-Cellular Automata-Markov) InVEST (Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs) models establish patterns in Yellow River Basin from 2000 2040 analyzed changes natural development (S1), protection (S2), urban expansion (S3). The results showed that 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, main types watershed were dryland grassland, accounting more than 72%. Paddy land, dryland, woodland, middle-coverage unused all decreasing trends, whereas other increasing trends. Influenced by human activities environment, was low, with 80% areas middle low grades, but overall trend rising. variability significant, improvements central northern regions continued deterioration around cities southern western parts. autocorrelation aggregation strong, study area had a relationship activities. Simulation revealed conservation catalytic effects on area, deteriorated This could provide support decisions.
