ABSTRACT A comprehensive and fine‐grained understanding of the coupling relationship between ecosystem service value (ESV) human activity intensity (HAI) in mountainous areas effectively promotes sustainable development. However, there is a shortage research exploring complex two mountain areas. This paper constructed framework for ESV HAI areas, revealed evolutionary characteristics explored whether can move toward win‐win situation regarding ecology economy. The results showed that: (1) study area an increasing trend from 2000 to 2020, with 204 townships (streets) showing ESV, spatial distribution that streets surrounding had lower compared farther away streets. changing local weakening overall enhancement, was substantially higher than rest area.

ABSTRACT Effective management of ecosystem services (ESs) is critical for sustainable regional development. Multi‐scale ESs assessments provide valuable insights spatial management. However, limited attention has been given to the spatial–temporal heterogeneity and driving mechanisms across urban hierarchies their integration into Therefore, taking Yangtze River Economic Belt in China as a case study, we assessed service values (ESVs) five from 2000 2020. Results showed that area ratios variation ESVs trends were typically S‐shaped small cities super cities. High‐value clusters decreased, low‐value ESV linear increase intensified. Human activities predominantly impacted lower hierarchy, whereas terrain conditions significantly higher hierarchy. Furthermore, novel framework was proposed integrate management, emphasizing multi‐scale ESs. This study effective strategies support region‐specific

Ecosystem services (ESs) are a key component of social-ecological system (SES). Exploring the spatial processes coastal ESs is great significance for promoting high-quality development zones. This study investigates patterns and their interrelationships, identifies driving mechanisms, subsequently offers sustainable management strategies. The major results reveal that (1) exhibit fluctuating growth trend (k = 0.017, R 2 0.175) from 2000 to 2022, but synergistic effects gradually weakening; Spatially, show pattern higher levels in south lower north, with significant north-south disparity; In future, slight upward (mean Hurst 0.516), southern region being stronger than those northern region. (2) more strongly influenced by social factors less affected natural factors. Natural have weak positive influence on ESs, while opposite true factors; Social exert nonlinear mechanism (3) demonstrate pronounced aggregation pattern, which can serve as basis partitioning. As result, we integrate local realities governance knowledge into planning support SES.

Megacities in developing countries are still undergoing rapid urbanization, with different cities exhibiting ecosystem services (ESs) heterogeneity. Evaluating ESs among various and analyzing the influencing factors from a resilience perspective can effectively enhance ability of to deal react quickly risks uncertainty. This approach is also crucial for optimizing ecological security patterns. study focuses on Xi’an Jinan, two important megacities along Yellow River China. First, we quantified four both cities: carbon storage (CS), habitat quality (HQ), food production (FP), soil conservation (SC). Second, analyzed synergies trade-offs between these using bivariate local spatial autocorrelation Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Finally, conducted driver analysis Geographic Detector. Results: (1) The temporal distribution Jinan quite different, but show lower ES levels urban core area. (2) showed strong synergistic effect. Among them, CS-HQ had strongest synergy 0.93. In terms space, north dominated by low–low clustering, while south high–high clustering. FP-SC trade-off effect −0.35 2000, which gradually weakened over time was mainly distributed northern area city where cropland construction were concentrated. (3) Edge density, patch NDVI have greatest influence CS Jinan. DEM, slope, density HQ. Temperature, edge impact temperature FP cities. SC.
