Spatiotemporal patterns of habitat quality and associated drivers in Anshun City, China, based on InVEST and Geodetector
摘要
Understanding the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of habitat quality (HQ) and its associated drivers is important for ecological assessment in fragile karst mountain regions. In this study, we combined the InVEST Habitat Quality model and Geodetector to quantify HQ patterns and explain their spatial heterogeneity in Anshun City, China, using five periods of data (2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020). Multi-source land-use/land-cover, normalized difference vegetation index, nighttime light intensity, population density, road density, topographic, climatic, and soil variables were spatially standardized and analyzed on an optimized 3 km grid. The results showed that mean HQ remained generally stable during 2000–2020, with values of 0.5583, 0.5587, 0.5628, 0.5634, and 0.5581, respectively, with a slight increase in spatial heterogeneity as indicated by the standard deviation. Higher HQ values were mainly distributed in mountainous and forested areas, whereas lower values were concentrated in built-up and cultivated zones. In the pooled Geodetector analysis, the explanatory power of single variables was generally low (all q values
