英文摘要 | As the Earth's Third Pole and the Asian water tower, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) plays a key role in global climate regulation and biodiversity maintenance. Living in harmony with nature is vital for local and global sustainable development. Current research on the conflicted or coordinated relationship between humans and nature on the QTP at a fine spatial scale remains limited. To fill the gap, we developed the human activity intensity index (HAI) and eco-environmental quality index (EQI) at 1-km resolution and proposed a four-quadrant diagram approach to explore the dynamics between them. The results show a coordinated development on the QTP as the HAI and EQI both increased from 2000 to 2020, and the ratio of coordinated areas to conflicted areas was 5:1. High HAI areas were mainly in big cities such as Xining, Lhasa, Haidong, Xigaze, and along traffic lines. The significant conflicted areas were mainly outside the Lhasa metropolitan, south of the Hengduan Mountains, and along some new roads, and reduced by 8% between 2000-2010 and 2010-2020. The area of high HAI but low EQI was the smallest proportion, mainly in southern Qinghai Lake, southern Brahlung Zangbo River, Gobi oases, and western transport lines, but it implies the highest risk of ecosystem degradation. This research expands the fundamental methodology to address complex human-natural relationships and provides implications for the sustainable development of fragile ecosystems. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), with an average altitude of over 4,000 m and 13 million residents, is the source of the nine rivers in Asia, providing fresh water, food, and other ecosystem services to more than 1.5 billion people, and is known as the Earth's Third Pole and Asian water tower. However, research on the relationship between humans and nature in that region is limited, especially at a fine spatial scale. To fill the gap, we developed the human activity intensity index (HAI) and eco-environmental quality index (EQI) at 1-km resolution and proposed a four-quadrant diagram approach to explore the dynamics between them, addressing potential risks and sustainability pathways. We find that the relationship between humans and nature on the QTP tends to be harmonious from 2000 to 2020. The significant conflicted areas were mainly outside the Lhasa metropolitan, south of the Hengduan Mountains, and along new roads, and reduced by 8% between 2000-2010 and 2010-2020. However, the plateau's fragile ecosystem still faces great challenges with population growth, urbanization, infrastructure construction, and the threat of global climate change. This work expands the fundamental methodology and may support fine ecological restoration and environmental management for local governments. Human activity intensity and eco-environmental quality were measured at the grid scale of 1-km resolution on the Earth's Third PoleWe proposed a four-quadrant diagram approach to identify dynamic relationships between humans and natureSocioeconomic development and eco-environment on the QTP tend to be coordinated during 2000-2020 |
