Evolution of Vegetation Landscape Pattern Dynamics in Ejina Delta, Northwest China—Before and After Ecological Water Diversion by Jingru Dong, Chaoyang Du, Jingjie Yu

“…However, there is a lag of about five years for the recovery of arbor and shrub compared to grass. (2) The implementation of EWDP has effectively reversed the trend of vegetation degradation, transforming the previously herb-dominated fragmented landscape into a more integrated pattern comprising multiple vegetation types. During the degradation period (1990–2005), the landscape exhibited a high degree of fragmentation, with an average number of patches (NP) reaching 45,875. …”
