Abstract

In the context of China's accelerated green transition in economic and social development, understanding the dynamics and influencing factors of open-pit mining land (OPML) transition is crucial for promoting ecological restoration and developing green mines. This study establishes a theoretical model for OPML transition, utilizing remote sensing data, Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST), and Optimal Parameter-based Geodetector to quantitatively evaluate the spatiotemporal patterns and driving factors of both dominant and recessive morphological transitions of OPML in China. The results reveal that from 2019 to 2022, China's OPML experienced a significant dominant morphological transition, with a substantial area reduction of 58.13%, primarily converting to grasslands. However, the overall level of recessive morphological transition, characterized by ecosystem service functions, remains low. Notable regional differences exist in the transition process, with Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Yunnan exhibiting superior performance in mine governance. Common drivers of both dominant and recessive morphological transitions include road infrastructure, climatic factors, fiscal revenue, and economic development levels, with road infrastructure demonstrating an exceptionally high contribution rate. The underlying driving mechanisms of OPML transition can be understood within a three-dimensional framework encompassing natural, economic, and managerial systems. The paper further discusses the effectiveness of five existing mine management strategies in China, suggesting that future mine management should account for regional differences in natural conditions and economic development, leverage the critical roles of government governance and infrastructure development in advancing OPML transition, and adopt restoration strategies tailored to local conditions to promote sustainable land use and ecological restoration.

量化中国露天采矿用地转型的空间模式和影响因素

在中国经济社会发展加速绿色转型的背景下，了解露天矿用地转型动态及其影响因素，对促进生态修复和发展绿色矿山具有重要意义。本文利用遥感数据、生态系统服务与权衡综合评估（InVEST）和基于最优参数的地理探测器，建立了OPML转型的理论模型，定量评价了中国OPML显性和隐性形态转型的时空格局和驱动因素。结果表明，2019 - 2022年，中国OPML发生了显著的优势形态转变，面积大幅减少58.13%，以草地为主；然而，以生态系统服务功能为特征的隐性形态转变总体水平较低。转型过程中存在显著的区域差异，内蒙古、山西、云南的矿山治理表现较优。显性和隐性形态转变的共同驱动因素包括道路基础设施、气候因素、财政收入和经济发展水平，其中道路基础设施的贡献率异常高。OPML转型的潜在驱动机制可以在包含自然、经济和管理系统的三维框架中理解。本文进一步探讨了中国现有五种矿山管理策略的有效性，建议未来矿山管理应考虑自然条件和经济发展的区域差异，发挥政府治理和基础设施建设在推进OPML转型中的关键作用，并采取因地制宜的恢复策略，促进土地可持续利用和生态恢复。

期刊介绍： Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
