Abstract. The construction of dams threats the health watershed ecosystems. To address challenge requires a clear understanding hydrologic effects multiple with concurrent disturbances at basin scale and their impact on purpose study is to illustrate how in can hydrological flow regimes subsequently aquatic ecosystems that depend river flows. This develops hydro-economic approach assessing ecosystem services under varying scenarios spatially located reservoirs Upper Cauvery River basin, heavily altered India. integrates landscape-based model an embedded reservoir operations support analysis scale. impacts different combinations are quantified using Indicators Hydrologic Alteration (IHA). Further, production two major services, fish species richness agricultural production, estimated, possibility frontier for derived. Results show smaller lower-order streams maximize economic value water stored better economy environment than bigger reservoirs. Growing high-value crops command area and, lower storage, generate similar while reducing alterations. proposed help managers understand provision hydrologically basins, optimize dam operations, or even prioritize removal balanced services.

There is less than half the time left to achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and progress toward SDGs obviously insufficient. The contribution of ecosystem services (ES) realization has received extensive attention, but systematic generalization recognition are still lacking. Based on a review challenge sustainable development, this study summarized ES's potential 17 SDGs, systematically reviewed empirical researches focused based RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES). results found that from 1960s 2020s, gradually become more important in development. ES all different varies. In study, SDG2, SDG6, SDG13, SDG15 were strongly focused. SDG4, SDG5, SDG10, SDG16, SDG17 weakly Most explored supply at single scale, with lacked attention demand scale differences, insufficient intervention factors affecting SDGs. Faced above deficiencies, future research could deepen exploration following four perspectives: clarifying true contributions, exploring leverage point, integrating multi-scale focusing factors.

Amidst the challenges posed by global climate change and accelerated urbanization, structure distribution of land use are shifting dramatically, exacerbating ecological land-use conflicts, particularly in China. Effective resource management requires accurate forecasts cover (LUCC). However, future trajectory LUCC, influenced remains uncertain. This study developed an integrated multi-scenario framework combining system dynamics patch-generating simulation models to predict LUCC high-density urban regions under various Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP)–Representative Concentration (RCP) scenarios. The results showed following: (1) From 2020 2050, cultivated land, unused water projected decrease, while construction is expected increase. (2) Future patterns exhibit significant spatial heterogeneity across three Construction will expand all districts Hangzhou, main areas. Under SSP585 scenario, expansion most significant, it least SSP126 scenario. (3) Distinct factors drive different types. digital elevation model predominant factor for forest grassland, contributing 19.25% 30.76%, respectively. Night light contributes at 13.94% 20.35%, (4) average intensity (LUI) central markedly surpasses that surrounding suburban areas, with Xiacheng having highest LUI Chun’an lowest. area increased significantly smaller than SSP245 These findings offer valuable guidance sustainable planning built environment Hangzhou similarly situated centers worldwide.

ABSTRACT Forests play a critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), yet their contributions are often misunderstood and inadequately addressed scientific discourse. This study clarifies intricate relationships between forests SDGs by examining contextual factors that influence this interplay. Through systematic literature review, we adopt mixed‐methods approach integrates quantitative mapping of themes with qualitative analysis key forest‐SDG nexuses. Our reveals forests' to specific SDGs, particularly 2 (Zero Hunger), 13 (Climate Action) 15 (Life on Land), not uniform but vary significantly based forest type, condition, management practices. These also linked degree success realizing these goals over time. Key findings indicate previous studies have treated as static entities, overlooking complexity SDGs. For instance, case SDG (“Climate Action”), frequently lauded for synergetic contributions, while potential trade‐offs evolving dynamics neglected. Similarly, earlier homogeneous generalizing impacts forests. However, distinct facets within each can relationship nuanced ways. reveal even targets, such target 2.3, connection be interpreted differently. review contributes deeper understanding socio‐ecological systems shaping outcomes, advocating perspective foster informed policy‐making sustainable management.

Abstract While the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are broadly framed with 17 goals, goals and their targets inherently connect each other forming a complex system. Actions supporting one goal may influence progress in either positively (synergies) or negatively (trade-offs). Effective managing synergies trade-offs is prerequisite for ensuring policy coherence. This particular relevant at river basin scale where implementation of national policies generate inequalities sub-basin levels, such as upstream downstream. In existing literature, there still lack methodologies to assess SDG interlinkages differences subnational levels. paper presents methodology on development an analysis model its application case study China’s Luanhe River Basin (LRB). Seven broad areas, namely land use cover change, climate ecosystem services, flood risks, water sector, urbanisation, energy, were set scope study. Through systematic review, key elements system identified interactions mapped. The resulting generic validated expert survey stakeholders’ consultation tailored LRB. Quantification was conducted 27 counties LRB demonstrated by results 3 selected located upstream, midstream downstream respectively. applications can be used support integrated resource management basins.

Estuaries feature diverse ecosystems with great biological production and favourable resources landscapes for ecotourism. Increasing natural disasters have threatened the lives safety of over 70% region's population in recent years. Rapid urbanisation tourism changed land use. This changes ecosystem structure function, impacting service provision. study developed a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model to assess imbalance between socio-economic development resource conservation using an services (ES) approach. The BBN helps synthesise exchange information, provide decision-making data, evaluate trade-off possibilities anticipate future situations when assessing ES. network probabilistically evaluates expertise, statistical modelling, geographic information systems interviews. We assessed comprehensive value 17 forms ES four groups period 30 As result, cultural some estuarial regions Vietnam highest are showing increasing trend, while regulating continuously fluctuating decreasing. Provisioning stable small changes. also examined values six landscape categories created two change scenarios. findings can help managers choose land-use exploitation policies, understand at regional level develop estuary sustainability strategies long-term balance.
