Table 1.

List of evaluation indicators for land cover status and change.

Evaluation Content Indicators Indicator Meaning Formula *
Land cover condition Composition pattern of land cover types The area proportion of every land cover type calculated by the land cover map of 2020. Pi=SiS100%
Land cover change Area change rate of land cover types The area change of all land cover types from 2016 to 2020. Ei=Si,2020Si,2016Si,2016100%
Mutual transformation characteristics between various land cover types Transformation trend of land cover types The transition matrix of land cover types between 2016 and 2020. PAab=Sabb=1nSab100%PBab=Sabb=1nSab100%

*: Pi is the area proportion of the i type of land cover map of 2020; Si is the area of the i type of land cover map of 2020; S is the total area; Ei is the area change rate of the i type during the evaluation period; Si,2016 is the area of i type at 2016; Si,2020 is the area of i type at 2020; a is the land cover type of 2016, b is the land cover type of 2020, Sab is the area of land cover type, PAab is the proportion of the transformation from the a type in 2016 to the b type in 2020. PBab is the proportion of b type in 2020 transformed from a type in 2016.
