It has been shown that there are thresholds of influence on the response ecosystem services to their drivers, and range drivers provide high levels can be delineated through thresholds. However, due spatial heterogeneity landscapes in karst regions, results service threshold studies non-karst regions may not applicable regions. This study explores effects between natural social drivers. is nonlinear constraints them, different critical exist for kinds services. The main water supply include slope (43.64°) relief amplitude (331.60 m); purification services, they (147.05 m) distance urban land (DTUL) (32.30 km); soil conservation normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) (0.80) nighttime light intensity (43.58 nW∙cm−2∙sr−1); biodiversity maintenance population density (1481.06 person∙km−2) (32.80 km). enables regional ecological planning based ranges corresponding meet needs decision makers.

This article evaluates the prospects for rainwater harvesting (RWH) as a means of optimizing water management in Mandara Mountains. RWH is small-scale conservation approach locally intercepting and storing rainfall before it enters usual hydrologic cycle. ancient practice has recently sustained lives semiarid areas world (e.g. Brazil, China), but not yet really used Mountains Cameroon where people are still lacking safe drinking water. Recently, was also demonstrated missing puzzle integrated resources (IWRM) only facing scarcity. The present aims to prepare large scale Water yields estimated residential roofs, administrative confessional buildings, agricultural farm scale). results show that an affordable, applicable, attractive tool both rural urban communities sustainably solve long-lasting problem lack Moreover, despite short rainy season, may provide enough irrigation mitigate dry spells increase livestock productivity. study regarded blueprint planning sustainable

Understanding the spatial and temporal variability of Ecosystem services (ES), along with trade-offs synergies among different services, is crucial for effective ecosystem management sustainable regional development. This study focuses on Wensu, Xinjiang, China, as a case to address these challenges. ES their were systematically assessed from 1990 2020. Explainable machine learning models (XGBoost-SHAP) employed quantify nonlinear effects threshold trade-offs, specific attention identifying driving factors. (1) From 2020, water yield (WY) soil conservation (SC) exhibited an inverted "N"-shaped downward trend in Wensu County: mean annual WY decreased 22.99 mm 21.32 mm, SC per unit area declined 1440.28 t/km² 1351.3 t/km². Conversely, windbreak sand fixation (WS) showed increase 2.32×10⁷ t 3.11×10⁷ t. Habitat quality (HQ) initially improved then deteriorated, values 0.596, 0.603, 0.519, 0.507 sequentially. (2) Relationships between WY-WS, WY-HQ, WS-HQ, SC-WS, SC-HQ primarily tradeoffs, whereas WY-SC interactions synergistic. Trade-offs SC-HQ, WS-HQ stronger, while weaker. (3) The XGBoost-SHAP model revealed land use type (Land), precipitation (Pre), temperature (Tem) dominant drivers demonstrating responses effects. For instance, intensified when exceeded 17 thresholds governed WY-HQ trade-off/synergy transitions. advances identification trade-off drivers. model's interpretability capturing complexities clarifies mechanisms underlying dynamics. Findings are generalizable other ecologically vulnerable regions, offering critical insights strategies comparable environments.

Unsustainable human activities threaten the ecological security of arid and semi-arid watersheds. However, improving connectivity networks can enhance ecosystem services preserve biodiversity in these fragile environments. In this study, we aimed to identify sources Tabu River Basin by quantifying five key using a morphological spatial pattern analysis model. We further optimized resistance surfaces landscape indices, constructed an network, provided recommendations for sustainable management. The results obtained were as follows: (1) Ecosystem exhibit clear heterogeneity, with significant increases water yield, food supply, carbon sequestration over past two decades. (2) Landscape such aggregation index, patch cohesion Shannon’s diversity showed declines, indicating heightened fragmentation reduced connectivity. (3) Over study period, number increased from 6 17, although total area decreased. corridors expanded 9 36, length increase 362.47 km, whereas pinch points 27 40. (4) After optimization, one additional corridor 24 new identified, alongside marked reduction northern central-western regions. These provide robust scientific basis optimizing land-use planning reinforcing Basin.
