Abstract： The landscape diversity index (LDI) is not only an important indicator in landscape ecology research but also an important component in biodiversity conservation. Based on the land use/cover raster data (30-m resolution), the spatiotemporal variation and scale- dependence characteristics of the LDI of an oasis along the Yellow River in Ningxia, China, have been studied using Neighborhood and Focal tools in ArcMap from 1975 to 2000. The results are as follows: (1) The LDI, which is measured by a square with a side length from 90 m to 6000 m, had obvious spatial scale-dependent characteristics based on five times repeat, and its turning point was 3000 m. (2) The change trend of the LDI had been cyclical in the past decades, with a turning point of 2000. During the study period, the LDI exhibited a decreasing trend from 1975 to 2000, and the analysis of LDI zoning indicated that the main characteristics were as follows: the class area (CA) of the degraded area was the largest, and the CA of the improved area was the smallest, which were 6840 km2 and 1332 km2 , respectively. In contrast, there was an increasing trend for the LDI from 2000 to 2020, mainly characterized by the maximum CA in the impervious area and the minimum CA in the degraded area, which were 7848 km2 and 792 km2 , respectively. Because the initial LDI in 2000 was the lowest in the entire period, its improvement status in the later period did not reach that of the early period. (3) The conversions of the LDI-grading area were mainly characterized by the transfer from the early improved area to the late impervious area (796 km2 , 60.5% of the improved area) and the transfer from the degraded area to the impervious area (3519 km2 , 51.5% of the degraded area) and the improved area (3036 km2 , 44.4% of the degraded area), respectively. (4) The change in the landscape diversity pattern was characterized by a negative correlation between CA and relative splitting index, and this relationship mechanism was universal in different periods and change types. Thus, it is to best understand the landscape diversity change with credible spatiotemporal scales in a regional landscape study. It is necessary to ensure that the research results are not only used for reference and sharing but also used to visualize and analyze regional landscape diversity

Abstract： 降雨波动是荒漠植被生长发育最主要制约因子，直接影响到植被组成、结构和功能的变化。梭梭作为干旱区植被的优势种之一，在防风固沙、涵养水源方面扮演重要角色，本文的目的是理解不同林龄人工梭梭林植被生产力对降雨事件的响应过程。本文以黑河中游荒漠-绿洲过渡带不同林龄人工梭梭为研究对象，以2017—2018年5月1日至9月31日时序MODIS-NDVI（近似于年生产力）日数据和对应日降雨数据为基础，采用阈值模型和统计学方法分析了其NDVI对不同降雨等级的滞后响应过程。结果表明：① 降雨小于2 mm时，不同林龄梭梭NDVI增长率均在5%以上,大于40 a生的反应最迅速，增长率为10%～56%；2～5 mm时，10～20 a生的变幅最大，增长率为11%～83%；5～10 mm时，20～40 a的最为敏感，增长幅度最高达到170%；大于20 mm时，大于40 a的NDVI增长率大于其他3个林龄，增幅最高达76%。② 降雨后，不同林龄人工梭梭NDVI响应时间不同，0～10 a的为7.4(±2.8)d，10～20 a的为8.3(±3.1)d，20～40 a的为8.1(±2.7)d，大于40 a的为8.2(±3.2)d。③ 降雨脉动是促成荒漠-绿洲过渡带植被生产力迅速变化的关键因素。不同林龄梭梭对不同级别降雨响应模式不同，2～10 mm降雨条件下，人工梭梭林NDVI增加幅度最大，高于其他2个降雨量量级NDVI响应变化幅度。依据上述分析可以推断，在荒漠-绿洲过渡带以10 mm以下降雨为主导的条件下，10～20 a生及20～40 a生人工梭梭林在防护体系的作用是最重要的。
