Dynamic simulation of landscape ecological risk in Gansu’s farming-pastoral ecotone based on topographic gradients by Le Yang, Jixuan Yan, Guang Li, Weiwei Ma, Tao Li, Pengcheng Gao, Qiang Li, Xiangdong Yao, Jie Li, Wenning Wang

“…This study systematically analyzes the dynamic evolution patterns and clustering characteristics of landscape ecological risk along the topographic gradient in the area, using Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC) data from five periods (each period representing 10 years) between 1980 and 2020, as well as Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data. Methods such as CA-Markov and the Topographic Position Index (TPI) were employed to assess these risks. …”
