Spatiotemporal variation of cultivated land ecosystem stability in typical regions of Lower Liaohe Plain China based on stress- buffer- response

The stability of cultivated land ecosystem is crucial to the green and high-quality development of agriculture. Reveal-ing its spatio-temporal differentiation is an important scientific issue to improve the resilience of cultivated land and ensure food security. In this paper, Shenyang, a typical region of Lower Liaohe Plain, is the study area. Starting from the stress buffer response process of cultivated land ecosystem stability, USLE, RWEQ, SDI, RSEI and grey relational model are used to clarify the relationship between the three, and depict the temporal and spatial differentiation pattern of cultivated land ecosystem stability. The results showed that the external stress intensity of cultivated land in Shenyang decreased as a whole, but the stress intensity of cultivated land distributed in the northern and southeast hilly areas increased. Most of the endogenous buffer strength has been improved, and the buffer capacity of cultivated land in the northern hilly region has declined on a large scale. More than half of the response intensity to the effect has been improved, while the response intensity of cultivated land in the west and north has generally declined. The sta-bility of cultivated land ecosystem in Shenyang has been improved for the most part, but in the hilly areas in the north and southeast, the stability in the lower reaches of Liaohe River plain in the south has declined. Terrain conditions and high-intensity cultivation patterns are the important reasons for the temporal and spatial differentiation of cultivated land ecosystem stability in the study area. The study clarified the dynamic process of cultivated land ecosystem stabil-ity and provided an important way to grasp the scientific law of stability change.
