“…Changing trends in land use pattern will pose a serious threat to future ecological security. In addition, climate change may have a significant impact on ecosystems, thereby leading to the disruption of ecosystem services and seriously threatening the living environment of human beings and the sustainable development of social economy [18][19][20]. Many studies only considered a single factor and ignored the common impacts of multiple driving factors on ecosystem services, such as global climate change and land use change [21][22][23].…”

Development of suitable ecological protection and restoration policies for sustainable management needs to assess the potential impacts of future land use and climate change on ecosystem services. The two ecological shelters and three belts (TSTB) are significant for improving ecosystem services and ensuring China’s and global ecological security. In this study, we simulated land use in 2050 and estimated the spatial distribution pattern of net primary productivity (NPP), water yield, and soil conservation from 2010 to 2050 under future climate change. The results showed that water yield, NPP, and soil conservation exhibited a spatial pattern of decreasing from southeast to northwest, while in terms of the temporal pattern, water yield and NPP increased, but soil conservation decreased. Water yield was mainly influenced by precipitation, NPP was affected by temperature and implementation of ecological restoration, and soil conservation was controlled by precipitation and slope. There was a strong spatial heterogeneity between trade-offs and synergies. In terms of the temporal, with the combination of climate change and ecological restoration, there was a synergistic relationship between water yield and NPP. However, the relationships between water yield and soil conservation, and between NPP and soil conservation were characterized by trade-offs. In the process of ecological construction, it is necessary to consider the differences between overall and local trade-offs and synergies, as well as formulate sustainable ecological management policies according to local conditions. Understanding the response of ecosystem services to future climate change and land use policies can help address the challenges posed by climate change and achieve sustainable management of natural resources.

“…Sustainable urban water policies should avoid one-size-fits-all mandates, and take full account of regional heterogeneity. Regional water carrying capacity and vulnerability under climate change should be explicitly considered in all aspects of city planning and decision making, such as population size, water allocation, and landscape design (including the amount and spatial arrangement of urban green spaces) (Liu et al 2020). Urban greening should be constrained by and adapted to the natural environment in which the city resides, without blindly seeking high levels of vegetation cover.…”

“…The existing research results mainly focus on the land use, changes in coverage, land use planning and its implementation evaluation, sustainable development of oasis cities, population growth, and human activities in drylands and deserts. The achievements made in the research include dynamic tracking of land use and coverage changes in multi temporal and spatial scales [28,29], establishment of land use dynamic simulation and urban expansion prediction models [30,31], analysis of the impact of urbanization and income level on vegetation coverage [32], simulation and planning of land use changes based on the conversion of land use-mondo model [33], investigation of the impact of property rights on land use change patterns [34], the impact of land use and coverage changes on regional sustainable development and regional development policies [35], analysis of the role of land use planning in the sustainable development of drylands and deserts [36], and research on the sustainability of garden city development in deserts [37].…”

Population migration is a major event of optimizing the allocation of production factors and a key way to construct regional relations and promote spatial reconstruction. However, there are few papers published on population migration that have a direct impact on the sustainable development of deserts owing to the more sensitive and complex man–earth relationship. Therefore, it is important to study the laws and characteristics of population migration in such regions. The study of Egypt by Zipf’s law shows that the spatial distribution of migration population size conforms to the law of power function with fractal characteristics of different types. The migration population is generally in a “Pareto” state in spatial distribution. Decentralization power is the leading driving force of spatial distribution, and scale-free regional distribution shows significant spatial agglomeration and gradient. Limited by research scope and “heavy tail” factors, Zipf’s law is not completely applicable. The spatial pattern and flow field characteristics of the migration population are analyzed in this paper by the conversion from “structural fractal” to “spatial fractal” based on scale-free geographic projection, providing the reference for the formulation of population governance policies and spatial planning strategies in Egypt and more desert countries.
