“…Identifying the causes of spatial changes in land use in typical open-pit coal mining areas in Inner Mongolia is of great significance for exploring the landscape ecological trends of land use changes, adjusting the industrial structure of mining areas, and arriving at sustainable land development [ 59 , 60 ]. From the perspective of spatial heterogeneity, this study uses the ArcGIS spatial analysis function to sample the spatial location and driving factors of land use change in the open-pit mining areas from 2001 to 2020 and used the GDM for

Although coal is difficult to replace in the short term, the large-scale production and consumption of coal have significant impacts on the ecological environment. The severe disturbances, such as land excavation and occupation, that accompany the mining of mineral resources have caused dramatic changes in land cover and a significant pressure on the sensitive and fragile ecological environment. To analyze the temporal and spatial evolution trends and the differences in land use in different typical mining areas in Inner Mongolia, as well as the evaluation system and driving mechanisms of land use evolution, this study takes the typical open-pit coal mines in Inner Mongolia as the research objects and, based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, analyzes the dynamic evolution characteristics and driving factors of land use in typical open-pit coal mines in Inner Mongolia from 2001 to 2020. The change trend of land use in typical open-pit mining areas in Inner Mongolia for the past 20 years is obvious, with the highest fluctuations for grassland, mining land, cropland, and residential/industrial land. Land use in the open-pit coal mining area is greatly affected by mining factors. From the perspective of spatial variation, the most important driving factor is the distance from national roads and railways, followed by the annual average temperature and annual average precipitation and topographical conditions, such as elevation. In terms of policy, land reclamation and ecological restoration in mining areas have a positive impact on land use change. Improving the mechanism for environmental compensation in mining areas can promote the efficient and rational use of mining areas and the protection of ecosystems.

“…Mengenali penyebab sosioekonomi dan biofisik dari degradasi lahan di tingkat nasional adalah penting untuk merancang strategi kebijakan dalam memerangi degradasi lahan (Vu et al, 2014). Menurut (Liu et al, 2021) negara dengan wilayah yang luas cenderung memiliki pola penggunaan lahan yang tidak merata. Integrasi analisis dari semua faktor penyebab terjadinya degradasi lahan sangat penting untuk manajemen yang lebih baik dan pemanfaatan yang optimal dari sumber daya lahan yang semakin menipis di seluruh dunia (Romshoo et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of the study was to analyze the socioeconomic conditions of the community and their relationship to land degradation in the Alo Pohu watershed, Gorontalo Province. The research method used in this study is a survey method with a total population of 79,828 people. The sampling method is a purposive sampling method with the criteria of people working as farmers determining the number of samples based on the Slovin formula, and the number of samples is 392 people. The socioeconomic parameters studied are education level, knowledge, income, household expenses, land ownership, and the number of dependents. In addition, perceptions and parameters of land degradation are determined based on the criticality level of the land. The data collection method is a questionnaire method. The data analysis used is quantitative and descriptive. A cross-table analyzes the relationship between socioeconomic conditions and land degradation. The results showed three socioeconomic parameters that significantly affected land degradation in the Alo Pohu watershed: education level, land ownership, and knowledge of critical land.

“…in SEH were higher than those in NWH, because the former is primarily composed of protected areas and has strong natural properties. In some mountainous areas of the AAH, including the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Heng-duan mountains, Changbai Mountains, and the nearby Xing 'an Mountainous Region, the proportion of areas with strong human attributes was also very low (Liu et al, 2021a) (Figures 7A, C). Ecological and socio-economic transition zones can serve as an ecological barrier between the east and west of China (more specifically, between the human system natural system) for water conservation and desertification prevention; however, it suffers from ecological environmental destruction when human intervention becomes severe.…”

“…Therefore, the ecosystems are increasingly characterized by uncertainty, variability (slow or rapid changes), interactivity, and transition characteristics ( Vizzari et al., 2018 ; Deng et al., 2020 ). Ecotones are created when there are significant interactions between humans and the environment ( Liu et al., 2021a ); for example, urban–rural ecotones ( Arnaiz-Schmitz et al., 2018 ; Yang et al., 2018 ), the agro-pastoral ecotones ( Qiao et al., 2018 ; Chen et al., 2021 ), and the ecological ecotones ( Williams et al., 2009 ; Blackwood et al., 2013 ; Yu et al., 2015 ). These regions have highly sensitive and fragile ecosystems, where conflicts between conservation and development create challenging socioeconomic and environmental issues ( Antonelli et al., 2018 ).…”

Using composite system index to identify China’s ecological and socio-economic transition zone

Regions with synthetic geographical gradients tend to exhibit distinct ecological transitions. As a compound ecosystem, transition zone can provide a basis for decision-making in the sustainable ecological management by investigating its boundary and complexity. To determine the characteristics of the transition zone where natural ecological and socio-economic factors interact, a conceptual framework and a quantitative identification method for the ecotone of coupled human and natural systems have been proposed. The composite system index can be used to ascertain the coupling intensity, coupling direction, and ecological transition of the system. Taking China as an example, this study showed evidence of the existence of a tremendous amount of ecological and socio-economic transition zone (complex coupled areas) between the east and west of China, and sporadic ecotone in other regions of the country. This transition zone accounted for about 1/4 of China’s land surface area, and had a fragile environment that faced challenges of environmental protection and economic development. In the area across the Hu Line, human and natural factors jointly explain a low proportion of the variance in ecological and socio-economic transition zone (the complexity of coupled systems, with 62.01% of unexplained proportion higher than that in other regions). In this region, the topographic position index was the critical element associated with the transition zone, and accounted for nearly 20% of the variation of composite system index. The discovery and characterization of the ecological and socio-economic transition zone is crucial for understanding its uncertainty and diversity and the complex of coupled ecosystems.
