Temporal and Spatial Evolution and Driving Force Analysis of Water Conservation Function in Yunnan Province Based on Climate and Land Use Change by LIU Fengru, ZHAO Junsan, LIN Yilin, CHEN Guoping, ZHANG Longjiang, PENG Sufen

“…[Results] (1) From 2000 to 2030, the total area of cultivated land and unused land decreased, the area of water area and construction land increased gradually, and the forest land and grassland changed in a wavy line; The trend of land use change in different scenarios is roughly the same, namely: grassland > construction land > cultivated land > unused land > water area > forest land. (2) From 2000 to 2020, water conservation showed a gradually decreasing trend, decreasing by 2.27×109m3; Under the influence of different climate and land use models, the water conservation under different scenarios is different, and the water conservation under the SSP2-4.5 scenario is the highest, which is 9.338×109m3. …”
