Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Eco-Environmental Quality in Yanhe Watershed (China) Using the Remote-Sensing-Based Ecological Index (RSEI)

Land
The long-term impacts of climate change and human activities have resulted in the Yanhe watershed, a typical watershed in the Loess Plateau region, exhibiting a high degree of vulnerability and significant heterogeneity in ecological environmental quality. This has led to environmental degradation and complex socio-ecological challenges.
