Short summary
In this paper, we present research on the spatial-temporal pattern of land cover change in the fragile ecosystem of the arid desert oasis of Hotan in northwest China. Multi-temporal Landsat images were used to analyze the land cover change and to identify change trajectories. The natural and human driving forces of these changes were examined using hydro-climatic data and socio-economic data.
