Hydrological Ecosystem Services (HES) are crucial components of environmental sustainability and provide indispensable benefits. The present study identifies critical hot cold spots areas HES in the Aglar watershed Indian Himalayan Region using six descriptors, namely water yield (WYLD), crop factor (CYF), sediment (SYLD), base flow (LATQ), surface runoff (SURFQ), total retention (TWR). analysis was conducted weightage-based approaches under two methods: (1) evaluating descriptors individually (2) grouping them into broad ecosystem service categories. Furthermore, assessed pixel-level uncertainties that arose because distinctive methods used identification spots. associated synergies trade-offs among were examined too. From method 1, 0.26% area classified as 3.18% spots, whereas 2 2.42% 2.36% Pixel-level showed 0.57 km2 6.86 consistently respectively, identified 2.30 6.97 respectively. spatial consistent patterns certain parts watershed, primarily south to southwest region, while mainly found on eastern side. Upon analyzing within categories, southern part, scattered throughout especially agricultural scrubland areas. significant synergistic relation between LATQ WYLD, WYLD SURFQ like LATQ, retention, TWR attributed varying factors such land use topography impacting balance watershed. findings underscore need for targeted conservation efforts maintain ecologically sensitive regions at scale.

Abstract This paper aims to reveal the impacts of land use/land cover changes on ecosystem services and guide sustainable development decisions by modelling future pattern its in case Aydın province, Turkey. In this context, study examined predicted patterns with three scenarios (natural development, service-based economy-based development) using PLUS model, determined impact InVEST generated carbon storage habitat quality services. The key drivers change were agricultural expansion, transformation different vegetation types into each other, and, even a small scale, urbanization. revealed that spatial types, together effect changing patterns, have significant quality. While reductions shrubland forests detrimental, transformations from openspaces them, particularly at their boundaries, enhanced capacity On other hand, though based economic value products/services obtained respectively, scenario was characterized more effective management terms maximizing both ecological benefits. highlights significance emerging need for prioritizing considerations urban planning.

Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) is one of the most significant human variables influencing efficiency Ecosystem Services (ESs) in terrestrial ecosystems. Theoretical and technical assistance for regional sustainable land use planning management, as well ecosystem conservation restoration, provided by investigating influence changes LULC pattern on ESs. This research focuses interactions between socioeconomic activities natural ecological processes Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA). We data from TGRA years 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020. The study includes analysis calculation spatiotemporal evolution features current ESs, including their distribution. Considering TGRA’s national development orientation guidance, three potential patterns are constructed under various develop-ment scenarios. To calculate GeoSOS-FLUS future simulation model linked, several methodologies such INVEST, RUSLE, CASA used. goal to investigate ESs efficiency. findings show following: (1) From 1990 2020, values water services decreased subsequently increased. High-value areas primarily located reservoir’s centre eastern sections, whereas low-value mostly found western section. Soil service initially declined later climbed. carbon storage have in-creased yearly, 552.64 g/m 2 2000 615.92 (2) In protection scenario, soil erosion increased compared system benefits greater when scenario. (3) four positive spatial correlations across all scenarios, local au-tocorrelation demonstrate that storage, yield, habitat quality comparable distributions some extent, high-value conservation, retention, overlap.

Abstract Assessing the impact of past and future urban land expansion on ecosystem services (ESs) is essential for sustainable management landscapes. Despite recent progress, it remains challenging to determine influence mechanism different urbanization stages areas ESs their trade-offs/synergies. Here, we analyzed responses four trade-offs/synergies spatial temporal differentiation in Su-Xi-Chang region China from 1990 2050. The results showed that relationship between followed a U-shaped curve Between 2020, weakened trade-offs enhanced lose-lose situations, exhibiting an S-shaped curve. From 2020 2050, situations are expected diminish, projected display downward trend. Our findings suggest implementation compact development, agricultural practices, reforestation, conversion farmland lakes.

Abstract Effective stakeholder engagement is essential for basin management, requiring structured approaches to foster collaboration and consensus. This paper applies the Issue Generating Assessment (IGA) method, which identifies core issues discussion, management. Focusing on Israeli part of Hadera Basin, we identify that should be discussed by stakeholders using IGA method. To this end 39 participants across 14 sectors evaluating three generic management strategies were asked qualitatively explain their evaluations. By analyzing these explanations utilizing four emerged: (1) Managing uncertainty: addressing climate change land use impacts stream flow; (2) Mutual management: handling interactions between its surroundings; (3) Integration uses: balancing various utilization priorities; (4) Defining natural system functions: determining role systems. For each issue, proposed questions guide discussions. The method thus found useful, has potential meaningful dialogue in meetings, thereby focusing discussions allowing understandings among reached as a basis plans.
