Abstract:

As a significant desert oasis agricultural area in Xinjiang, the Manas River Basin has a fragile ecological environment. Understanding land use changes and their environmental impacts is crucial for optimizing land use and promoting sustainable development in this region. Based on the spatial function classification of “production-living-ecological,” this study analyzes the shifts in land use capabilities and the evolution of eco-environmental effects in the Manas River Basin, while exploring the mechanisms underlying the differentiation of eco-environmental impacts. The results indicate that: (1) From 2010 to 2020, there is a prominent conversion of ecological space into production and living spaces in the Manas River Basin. (2) The eco-environmental quality index of the Manas River Basin declines from 0.29 to 0.27, with the negative environmental impacts of agricultural production space encroaching on ecological space gradually intensifying. (3) Topographic and climatic factors are the primary drivers of changes in eco-environmental effects in the basin, and the interactions among these factors propel land use transformations, leading to a complex pattern of eco-environmental effects in the Manas River Basin.

Key words: “production-living-ecological” spaces, land use transformation, eco-environment effects, spatial differentiation, Manas River Basin
