Examining the ecology quality of the Pan-Third Pole region has implications for global environmental change and sustainable development. However, spatio-temporal evolution of ecological quality in this region is still lacking. In this study, 65 countries of the Pan-Third Pole region were selected. A comprehensive evaluation index system of ecological quality was constructed using a dataset containing remote sensing, ecological environment and socio-economic data to spatially quantify the ecological quality, as well as its change from 2000 to 2020. The results displayed that the average ecological quality of the Pan-Third Pole region was at a moderate level of 0.53. Spatially, the excellent ecological quality regions were mainly concentrated in East Asian countries, while the severe quality regions were located in the Middle East. From 2000-2020, areas with improved ecological changes accounted for 38.48% of the total area, and 10.66% of the total area experienced a decline; specifically, European countries had a large proportion of improved ecological quality areas, while East Asian countries had a significantly larger proportion of declining ecological quality areas. We also found that ecosystem changes and human activities had an influence on ecological quality in the Pan-Third Pole region. This study provides an important empirical study on ecosystem services in the region. |
