Partial Order Ranking of the Key Drivers of Grassland Conversion in the Urban–Grassland Interface: A Case Study of the Hohhot–Baotou–Ordos Region by Xuemei Li, Chang An, Batunacun, Yu Feng, Kaixin Liu, Yong Mei

“…This study applies partial order theory (POT) combined with the Hasse diagram technique (HDT) to analyze grassland conversion in the Hohhot–Baotou–Ordos region during two time periods (2000–2010 and 2010–2020). First, patterns of grassland transformation are quantified, and the dominant driving factors of grassland conversion out (GCO) are identified and ranked, highlighting regional differences and temporal shifts. …”
