Spatio-Temporal Characteristics and Driving Forces of Landscape Ecological Risks in Highly Urbanized Areas: A Case Study of Suzhou City by Lingyue LU, Dawei SHAO, Dianming WU

“…However, relatively little attention has been given to urbanized areas characterized by high rates of population growth and land development. The formation mechanism, spatio-temporal heterogeneous driving effect and scale response law of LER in highly urbanized areas still need to be systematically explored.MethodsUtilizing multi-source data spanning the period from 1995 to 2020, including Landsat TM/ETM imagery, digital elevation model (DEM) and NASA datasets, this research focuses on exploring the characteristics of spatio-temporal variability of LER and corresponding drivers in Suzhou at the optimal scale, utilizing the LER evaluation model and the geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) framework.Results1) The landscape pattern of Suzhou City is scale-dependent, with significant variations in the landscape pattern index for each land type at the optimal scale. …”
