Evaluation of Eco-Environmental Quality in Qaidam Basin Based on the Ecological Index (MRSEI) and GEE

As the population has increased and the economy has developed in the Qaidam Basin, the demand for food and energy in the basin has increased, and the contradiction between economic development and ecological protection is gradually becoming prominent. In this study, the eco-environmental quality of...

description	As the population has increased and the economy has developed in the Qaidam Basin, the demand for food and energy in the basin has increased, and the contradiction between economic development and ecological protection is gradually becoming prominent. In this study, the eco-environmental quality of the Qaidam Basin from 1986 to 2019 was evaluated and analyzed based on the Modified Remote Sensing Ecological Index (MRSEI) retrieved by the Google Earth Engine (GEE) and meteorological and socioeconomic auxiliary data. The results show that (1) the Qaidam Basin had a lower overall level of eco-environmental quality, with higher eco-environmental quality in the southeastern part of the basin and lower eco-environmental quality in the central and northwestern parts of the basin.
