Temporal and Spatial Variations in Landscape Pattern–Function Risk Coupling over 20 Years in the Dry–Hot Valley of the Jinsha River in China by Shan Zhou, Zhaorong Ou, Junming Zhang, Limin Dong, Xiangfei Li, Zhihua Deng, Yongyu Sun, Xinteng Qiu

“…Existing research primarily emphasizes ecological risks caused by landscape alterations, while overlooking vulnerable characteristics of landscape functions; particularly lacking are studies on the driving mechanism of landscape ecological risk through the reciprocal relationship between landscape pattern risk and function risk. Based on these issues, this paper constructed a landscape pattern risk index (<i>LPRI</i>), a landscape function risk index (<i>LFRI</i>), and a landscape ecological risk index (<i>LERI</i>) in the counties of the dry–hot valley of the Jinsha River in southwest China. …”
