Human-induced spatio-temporal changes of oasis through landscape pattern analysis:a case study of oasis in the Sangong River
从景观格局分析人为驱动的绿洲时空变化——以天山北坡三工河流域绿洲为例

Among landscape changes, a particular type is the landscape change in an oasis that is isolated in desert surroundings. Due to the available groundwater and runoff from nearby high mountains, oasis areas have higher productivity than the surrounding desert. The landscape changes in oases have been a major concern in Xinjiang province, China.
