Landscape ecological risk assessment (LERA) has been used for the measurement and prediction of environmental quality. In the present study, the land-use dynamics of the Tarim River Basin from 2000 to 2020 were quantitatively analyzed using ENVI 5.6 software based on Landsat TM and ETM+ images (2000, 2010, and 2020). Moreover, the ecological risk level and its spatiotemporal differentiation features were explored using geostatistical methods based on landscape pattern indices. The results show that: (1) From 2000 to 2020, the arable land area increased the most (12,130.272 km2), and the woodland, wetland, water bodies, and building-land areas increased by 2416.541 km2, 4103.789 km2, 3331.230 km2, and 2330.860 km2, respectively. However, the bare-land area decreased the most (18,933.943 km2). (2) From 2000 to 2020, a decrease was detected in the landscape ecological risk index (LERI) of the basin, and the very low-, low-, and moderate-risk areas had the largest decrease. In addition, the area of the low- and moderate-risk areas gradually increased, while that of the high-risk areas was reduced. (3) The conversion rate of low-risk areas to very low-risk areas was the largest (5144.0907 km2\/a), followed by that of high-risk areas to moderate-risk areas (4994.4765 km2\/a). Therefore, the overall landscape ecological risk (LER) of the basin was reduced from 2000 to 2020, but the ecological risk of some areas, especially that of the glaciers and permanent snow-covered areas, still needs close attention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15174173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]],"date-time":"2023-08-25T08:33:09Z","timestamp":1692952389000},"page":"4173","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Landscape Ecological Risk Assessment for the Tarim River Basin on the Basis of Land-Use Change"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3586-5251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guangyao","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Desert and Oasis Ecology, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China"},{"name":"College of Sciences, Shihezi University, Shihezi 832000, China"},{"name":"Border Development and Security Governance Research Institute, Shihezi University, Shihezi 832000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5908-3515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guangyan","family":"Ran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Sciences, Shihezi University, Shihezi 832000, China"}]},{"given":"Yaning","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Desert and Oasis Ecology, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi 830011, China"}]},{"given":"Zhengyong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Sciences, Shihezi University, Shihezi 832000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107454","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecolind.2021.107454","article-title":"Spatial-temporal pattern analysis of landscape ecological risk assessment based on land use\/land cover change in Baishuijiang National nature reserve in Gansu Province, China","volume":"124","author":"Wang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ecol.
