Spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and prediction of habitat quality in the Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration under multiple scenarios based on the InVEST model
Research was conducted on the habitat quality and influencing factors of the Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration with coupling the patch land use simulation model and the integrated valuation of ecosystem services and tradeoffs model,land use changes in different scenarios from 2030 to 2050 simu-lated,and the spatiotemporal evolution and spatial correlation of habitat quality explored.The results indi-cated that,under three future scenarios,land use change would show different trends and significant differences;the average habitat quality under natural development and farmland protection scenarios continues to decrease,while the average habitat quality under ecological protection scenarios increases,resulting in significant improvement effects;there was a correlation between the habitat quality of the Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration in the county space.The"hot spots"of habitat quality mainly gath-ered in the western part of the research area,with scattered distribution and continuous reduction of areas.The"cold spots"were centered in the economically developed central region,showing an expan-sion trend.
