Dynamic monitoring of ecological security patterns in arid zone oases: a remote sensing-based ecological index evolution analysis.

ABSTRACT: As vital biological hubs in delicate ecosystems, oasis in arid zones provide vital ecosystem services that include resource availability, biodiversity preservation, and temperature management. The quantitative contributions of human and climatic causes to the dynamics of eco-environmental quality are still not well understood, despite their importance. This study evaluates the evolution of EEQ in three dry irrigation oasis in China (Hetao, Ningxia, and Minqin) between 2000 and 2022 by utilizing Google Earth Engine to create a Remote Sensing Ecological Index that integrates multi-dimensional indicators. We determine that precipitation is the primary driver using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) in conjunction with interpretable machine learning; the corresponding SHAP values are 0.031,
