The Trade-Offs and Constraints of Watershed Ecosystem Services: A Case Study of the West Liao River Basin in China

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(1), P. 119 - 119

Published: Jan. 9, 2025

Clarifying the spatiotemporal trade-offs between supply and demand of ecosystem services is critical for regional ecological security sustainable development. This paper focused on West Liao River Basin, a crucial barrier in Inner Mongolia, quantified by utilizing InVEST model. A coupled coordination model established to evaluate supply–demand trade-offs, while decoupling index used analyze dynamic changes coordination. The influencing factors relationship are also explored using geographically temporally weighted regression (GTWR) results from 2005 2020 indicated decrease carbon storage an increase emissions. Water yield, food, meat increased, their decreased. Soil retention both increased. Basin-scale improved low moderate levels, with significant gains matching degrees. Decoupling indices fluctuated, central region showing significantly higher index. GTWR showed that spatial temporal impacts eight driving factors, including land use, CD differed significantly, precipitation having most impact. research provided theoretical basis future development restoration policies.

Advancing Integrated Transboundary Watershed Management Through Recreational Services Assessment: A Supply and Demand Framework Analysis

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 14, 2025

ABSTRACT Neglecting integrated management may exacerbate the imbalance between supply and demand of ecosystem services (ESs) in transboundary watersheds. Although strategies such as payments for watershed (PWS) have been implemented to mitigate externalities ESs, complexity watersheds is often underestimated, diminishing their effectiveness. This study proposed a comprehensive framework assess dynamics recreational service China's Xin'an River, identifying driving factors. Results showed that: (1) growth rate upstream (50.5%) was higher than that downstream (8.4%) during period; (2) lower downstream. observation corroborated through choice experiments; (3) exhibited significant supply–demand with 74.5% oversupplied. These results suggest environmental are not fully internalized, especially areas; (4) identified road accessibility, land degradation, preferences key insights offer new perspective on internalization PWS can inform development policies region‐integrated management.

Land Use Changes and Sustainable Development Goals Alignment Through Assessing Ecosystem Service Supply and Demand Balance

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 26, 2025

ABSTRACT Ecosystem service quality is closely linked to human well‐being, and sustainable provision of ecosystem essential for ensuring regional ecological security achieving sustainability goals. An innovative valuation framework introduced that combines land use/cover change (LUCC) analysis, supply demand matrices Gini coefficient calculations assess the services (ES‐S ES‐D). Unlike traditional static methods, this approach captures intricate spatial temporal mismatches, offering new insights into impacts LUCC on ES balance within development goals (SDGs). Taking Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) as a case study, findings indicate significant decrease in cultivated land, accompanied by expansion forest built‐up area, driven farmland‐to‐forest policies urbanization. These shifts have improved provisioning supporting but also intensified disparities, particularly Chongqing, where outpaces supply. Furthermore, altered capacity ecosystems TGRA provide services, such soil retention water regulation, thereby progress toward SDGs related sustainability. However, imbalances cultural persist, highlighting need targeted management strategies optimize support This study underscores importance ongoing ES‐S ES‐D assessments inform ecologically sensitive areas like TGRA.

Exploring the Dynamic Local and Tele‐Coupling Coordination Mechanism of the Ecosystem Services Supply–Demand and Its Driving Forces: Taking China's Yangtze River Economic Belt as an Example

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 5, 2025

ABSTRACT Ecosystem services supply–demand (ESSD) is a key considering factor in regional ecological security. Based on the background, this study proposed dynamic local and tele‐coupling coordination degree (DLTCCD) model further analyzed its influencing factors by combining it with machine learning model. The main conclusions show that: (1) There existed great imbalance ESSD of Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) where upstream area was supply downstream demand area; (2) DLTCCD YREB as whole has been increasing can more objectively reflect changes coupling (CCD); (3) In future, government should prioritize dual focus demographic trends urbanization levels to foster balance YREB. This aims identify effectiveness protection projects so provide theoretical support for cross‐regional compensation policy planning area.
