In China, the invasion of Spartina alterniflora is an important driver for decrease mangrove area and ecological service functions related to this habitat. past few decades, S. clearing restoration projects have mainly focused on areas where it already changed but ignored potential distribution areas. This study suggested that implementation protection prior with threat could greatly improve efficiency save costs. Thus, using Maximum Entropy Modeling (MaxEnt), we estimated spatial both mangroves in considering current data, topographical, sediments, sea surface temperature bioclimatic variables. What’s more, identified calculated distributed each province. We aimed explore (i) key factors determining along coastline (ii) hotspots their competitive occurrence, including degradation areas, order support conservation. The model showed distance topography play roles alterniflora, while were more sensitive range annual temperature. Our results furthermore confirm has a wider (~10,585 km2) than (~9124 at China; predict provinces Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Zhanjiang, Beihai Wenzhou as competition between alterniflora. propose priority should be given or plants those which are co-suitable these management measures conducted hinder invasions clear existing plants, firstly. provides guidance native species by preventing biological invasion.

In China, the Huang-Huai Plain and middle reaches of Yangtze River, which are populated with numerous small medium-sized cities, have emerged as critical regions for future urbanization. As a result, these face significant ecological risks due to this rapid This study employs concept security pattern (ESP), synergizes landscape patterns processes by emphasizing connectivity. integration facilitates balance between ecosystem protection economic development. Utilizing Suizhou case study, framework establishing an ESP in rapidly urbanizing cities is proposed, aim addressing challenges posed A principal component involves optimizing identification sources. The ordered weighted average (OWA) method was used accurately pinpoint areas services while considering necessary trade-offs. Furthermore, sensitivity connectivity were integrated identify Subsequently, corridors, totaling area 416.08 km2 length 211.43 km, delineated using circuit theory. Suizhou, extensive urban development, particularly central area, has notably disrupted continuity northern southern regions. multifactorial superposition analysis conducted locate potential sources prevalent issues, leading formulation targeted strategies resolution. If certain modeled optimized sources, it projected that number will increase 46, covering 3090.4 km2; corridors also 799.8 km. expansion significantly enhance both network density corridor Therefore, development green infrastructure recommended improve resilience urbanized areas.

Climate and land use/land cover (LULC) changes alter ecosystem services that directly indirectly affect human well-being. The impacts of management scenarios different climate on water-related are uncertain in the context future LULC change interactions. Therefore, here, we analyzed impact by 2030 Jianghuai Ecological Economic Zone (JHEEZ). Water yield water purification were modelled for 2030, models built using Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs (InVEST) model. We used Beijing Normal University Earth system model (BNU-ESM) representative concentration pathway (RCP) 4.5 RCP8.5 scenarios, simulated four simulation (FLUS) Four including rapid urbanization (RUS), farmland protection (FPS), ecological (EPS), returning to lakes scenario (RLS), designed compared with year 2015 as baseline. found each under RCP4.5 had a decreasing trend: 10.41% 12.43% 13.69% 13.83% (RLS). However, increased 5.92%, 3.77%, 2.35%, 2.18%, respectively. more all than RCP4.5. land-use from small large was FPS, RUS, EPS, RLS. Our results indicated greater yield, but purification. provide scientific guidance decision makers develop better policies achieve sustainable resource watershed-dominated regions. integrated assessment approach also applies other conditions help management.

Understanding impacts of land use/cover (LULC) and climate change ecosystem services (ESs) is critical to human well-being. However, existing studies seldom determined the relative contributions LULC ESs from a geospatial perspective, different conversions on remain unclear. This study established framework for distinguishing spatial water yield, net primary productivity (NPP) soil retention applied it Zhejiang Province. The results showed that all an increasing trend 2000 2020. Changes in yield were dominated by change, accounting 75.22% 77.69% total area, respectively, while changes NPP changes, 82.70% area. We further quantified impact three major forms (urbanization, deforestation, afforestation) their respective regions. Deforestation urbanization reduced 192 gC/m2 115.75 gC/m2, afforestation increased 220.10 gC/m2. Afforestation 84.27%, deforestation 37.94% 62.42%, respectively. 38.28%, 3.91% 63.28%, Five suggestions improving ES management proposed based our results. can provide detailed reference decision-makers seeking sustainable strategies.

Understanding the scale effects of ecosystem service (ES) supply–demand balances and drivers is critical to hierarchical management. However, it remains unclear how relationships ES driving factors change with scale. In this study, we first quantified food production (FP), water yield (WY), soil conservation (SC), carbon storage (CS), habitat quality (HQ) at pixel county scales in 2000 2020 Zhejiang Province. Then, analyzed trade-offs/synergies different scales. Finally, performed correlation analysis applied a random forest model explore socioecological these ESs. Our work showed that supplies FP, WY, SC increased, while those CS HQ decreased from 2020. ESs were more spatially heterogeneous than FP short supply, gaps between their supply demand grew over time. Some mismatches disappeared From scale, directions changed slightly, but intensities significantly. The temperature, altitude, percentage forestland normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) had positive on HQ, SC, population density (POP), gross domestic product artificial land (PA) negative effects. degree influence most increased increasing NDVI was important factor for CS, precipitation WY. importance POP PA both time Ultimately, overall should be considered accurate management measures implemented promote effective This study emphasizes necessity considering sustainable
