Spatiotemporal variation, multi-scenario simulation, and driving factors analysis of habitat quality based on FLUS-InVEST and Geodetector models for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, China.

ABSTRACT: Evaluating the influence that alterations in land use/land cover (LULC) have on habitat quality and landscape patterns is essential to promote regional sustainable development. This research simulates the LULC trends of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in 2035 and 2050 under three scenarios and subsequently evaluates changes in habitat quality using the FLUS-InVEST model. Additionally, Geodetector is employed to pinpoint the principal causes influencing fluctuations in habitat quality. The following results are obtained: (1) During 2000-2023, substantial alterations occurred in LULC, with habitat quality declining by 0.041. The transition to ecological land improved habitat quality, while the transformation of cultivated land to construction land posed a severe threat to habitat quality. (2) U
