ABSTRACT
The China Desertification Ecological Restoration Project has effectively curbed the problem of soil
desertification in Northwest China, and improved the ecological environment and landscape pattern
of the Dunhuang Desertification Control Area. As the birthplace of Dunhuang culture, the ecological
landscape of Yueyaquan Village shows strong sensitivity to disturbances, and in order to improve
the ecological landscape resilience, an ecological landscape resilience evaluation system for
desertification control villages was constructed from three levels: ecosystem, engineering system,
and cultural traditions, and the results show that: (1) villages in the context of desertification
control are difficult to resist the damages brought by natural disasters, and therefore the ability to
resist determines the key factor of the ecological landscape resilience of villages. resilience level.
(2) Through the empirical analysis of the ecological landscape system, engineering system and cultural
system of Yueyaquan Village, it is found that the engineering system of the village has high resilience,
the ecosystem resilience is average, and the resilience of the cultural system is weak, which reduces
ecosystem resilience. The research results can guide subsequent improvement strategies for ecological
landscape construction and provide new thoughts and ideas for rural environmental renovation and
resilience enhancement.
