Spatiotemporal evolution and attribution analysis of ecological quality in the alpine meadow region of Shangri-La based on natural-social dimensions by Zihui Li, Kangwen Zhu, Ya Zhang, Yong Ba, Yanjun Zhang, Chengzhong He, Lin Song, Zheng Hou, Chunfeng Dong, Haoyu Wang, Yinhong Xiong

“…The conclusions are as follows: (1) the natural status index of Shangri-La from 2000 to 2020 generally showed a spatial distribution pattern that decreased from the central townships toward the north and south, and the social pressure index was irregularly distributed in high-value areas and continuously distributed in low-value areas. (2) From 2000 to 2020, the areas with high values of the ecological quality index were mainly distributed in central Shangri-La, with a maximum value of 0.91, while the low values were largely distributed in some townships in the north and south, with a minimum value of 0.26. (3) In the driving factors, the influences of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and net primary productivity (NPP) were greater than those of the other factors, among which the NDVI attained the largest mean value of 0.452, while the relative humidity (RHU) attained the lowest value of 0.036. (4) In terms of relative contributions, evapotranspiration (EVP) and precipitation (TEM) shifted from a positive drive to a negative drive from south to north. …”
