The ecological environment is suffering from great human disturbance. Scientific assessment of landscape ecological risks can provide scientific guidance for land use management. This study focused on Chaoyang County in China, used ecological risk assessment methods to characterize the impact of land use/land cover (LUCC) change, and revealed the risk aggregation pattern with the help of spatial autocorrelation analysis. The results showed that ecological risk was increased from 2000 to 2010 but decreased from 2010 to 2018. The ecological risk of the Daling River and Xiaoling River basin was at a relatively high level, and low in the northwest and southeast of the study which covered by forest land. Occupying cultivated land for built-up and large-scale deforestation were two of the main factors to contribute to the increase of ecological risk. The distribution of High-High (HH) and Low-Low (LL) risk agglomeration areas was basically the same as risk levels, but the scope is smaller and more precise. Thus, HH and LH risk agglomeration area should be paid more attention to prevent the adverse impact of adjacent areas. Our study gave a novel perspective to investigate the pattern of ecological risk in order for government managers to identify key risk areas.

Ecological risk assessment for land use can provide the basis for scientific evaluation of the impact of current human activities on land and its ecological effects. For the issue on ecological risk of land use, the method of ecological risk assessment for land use based on remote sensing image is proposed. Using remote sensing image as the main data of land use change and ecological effects, the land use situation is classified by pre-processing and analysis of remote sensing image. Combined with the estimation of solar radiation, spatial interpolation of meteorological data, atmospheric correction and geometric fine correction operations, remote sensing data is processed to improve the classification accuracy of the target area. According to the remote sensing image of land use and the analysis results of the data, as well as the dynamic model and the comprehensive evaluation conceptual model for land use, the multi-indicator assessment framework of ecological risk for land use is designed and the risk indicator system is constructed. Furthermore, the ecological risk assessment for land use in the entire region and sub-regions is completed. The research results show that the proposed method can effectively realize the ecological risk assessment for land use in the study area, which has good robustness.
