This study investigated the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of forest disturbance and recovery in the central Himalayas from 1995 to 2018 using random forests model, LandTrendr temporal segmentation algorithm, and geographical detector. The results showed that forest disturbance was dominant and greater than recovery. Both disturbance and recovery exhibited a significant decreasing trend, with disturbance mainly occurring at low elevations and the Gandaki basin, while recovery mainly occurred in eastern Nepal. The main influencing factors on forest dynamics were elevation, temperature, and population, with their interaction synergistically enhanced.
Transboundary forests in the Himalayas are one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, but exploring the patterns and influencing factors related to forest disturbance-recovery is still limited. In this study, we used a random forests model, a LandTrendr temporal segmentation algorithm and geographical detector to investigate the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of forest disturbance and recovery and their influencing factors in the central Himalayas from 1995 to 2018. The results showed that forest disturbance was dominant (& SIM;2.94 x 10(4) km(2)) and greater than recovery (& SIM;0.56 x 10(4) km(2)). Both disturbance and recovery showed a significant decreasing trend (p < 0.01); disturbance occurred mainly at low elevations and the Gandaki basin, while recovery was in eastern Nepal. Disturbance rates were highest in Nepal (1.14%) and recovery rates in China (0.29%). The main influencing factors on forest dynamics were elevation, temperature and population. The interaction of all factors was synergistically enhanced.
