Spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of land use and habitat quality in Shandong Province, China.

ABSTRACT: To explore the sustainable mechanism of land use and habitat quality, the present study examined the land cover data of Shandong Province from 1980 to 2020 to understand the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of land use. The "Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Trade-off" (InVEST-HQ) model and spatial auto-correlation model were further employed to evaluate the habitat quality and analyze the relationship between its spatial distribution pattern and land use type. Our results suggested that cultivated land was the dominant land use type in Shandong Province from 1980 to 2020. During this period, the area of water and URL (urban and rural industrial and mining residential land) were gradually increased, while other land types decreased progressively. Political and so
