Abstract

Alluvial fans are an important land resource with agricultural potential in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. The spatiotemporal variation in land use/cover is an important indicator to understand the value of alluvial fans and protect and make scientific use of such fans. In this study, the spatiotemporal characteristics of land use/cover are determined by analysing the land use/cover changes of alluvial fans in the Lhasa River Basin (LRB) at different times, counties/districts, altitudes, and gradients. Results show that the area of cultivated land and the artificial land provided by alluvial fans for LRB has continuously increased. In 2000, 2010, and 2020, 17.72%, 21.84%, and 24.17% of cultivated land and 7.89%, 7.51%, and 25.24% of artificial land in LRB were provided by alluvial fans, respectively. At all altitudes and slopes, cultivated land and artificial land are increasing but the increasing part is basically due to the massive loss of grassland. The spatiotemporal changes in all land use/cover types of alluvial fans were dominated by human activities, although they were also influenced by natural factors to some degree.
