Abstract Context The study of landscape sustainability plays an important role in the development science. Landscape assessment is crucial for planning and governance, serving as a fundamental basis achieving regional global sustainable development. Objectives goal to propose framework based on ecosystem services (ESs) supply-flow-demand, select case area test it. Methods We started from connotation theoretically explained relationship between patterns, ESs, human well-being. proposed conceptual supply-flow-demand ESs. Yixing City was selected empirical research. Results constructed steps ESs applied it assess towns City. focuses concept can be at various temporal spatial scales, with high operability replicability. However, there are still certain limitations that need further considered, including determination boundaries, multi-scale assessment, trade-offs/synergies different Conclusions expand perspectives methods assessment. It also practical replicable, aiming provide support governance.

ABSTRACT Facing the need for transdisciplinary research to promote ecological restoration that achieves both social and benefits, on past efforts have directly or indirectly contributed regional national sustainable development warrants reassessment. Using China as an example, in this review, we address three basic questions can be summarized follows: restoration—of what, whom what purpose? Accordingly, a ‘landscape pattern—ecosystem service—sustainable development’ co-evolutionary framework is proposed here describe landscape-scale its impact landscape patterns processes, ecosystem services human well-being, livelihoods socioeconomic development. From strategic pattern of security major projects protect restore ecosystems, spatial China's more geographically integrative. function-oriented zoning systematic protection restoration, purpose achieving Beautiful Initiative, there are stages management: classification, synergy integration, respectively. The difference geographic processes should considered key requirements five strategies sustainable-development strategies. Deepening understanding relationship between humans nature different geographical contexts scientific prerequisite support policymaking related restoration. To greater harmony nature, propose four important directions: (i) coupling among components, (ii) identifying service flows, (iii) evaluating social-ecological benefits (iv) supporting adaptive management

Ecosystem services has been widely explored in various theoretical or practical studies since its emergence more than 20 years ago. The two big issues the past golden era of ecosystem research were: valuing and trade-offs. We analyzed advantages promoting attention that government public pay to natural capital management services, together with summarizing shortcomings. It was found made aware importance from an economic perspective, while trade-offs highlighted relationship between ecological which could be better applied services-based management. With increasing number papers focusing on flows, it is believed flows integrating ecology, economy, sociology geography disciplines will become a new key direction after To further promote study link human nature within geographical context, we need focus value payment benefit accounting, by trade-off synergy analysis, spatial temporal assessment. In addition, efficient recognized method also essential for development quantifying flow. This contributes understanding stage highlights flow research.

Despite advances in understanding the effects of landscape structure on ecosystem services (ES), many challenges related to these complex spatial interactions remain. In particular, integration different components service provision chain (supply, demand, and flow) remains poorly understood conceptualized. Here we propose a theoretical framework further explore how flow ES can vary according (i.e. composition configuration) emphasizing role played by configuration supply, neutral areas, as well individual characteristics (e.g., rivalry). For this, expand discussion changes affect flows representation variation led supply-demand ratios. Additionally, this integrating potential areas supply/demand overlap. This novel approach links arrangement (e.g. fragmentation, network complexity, matrix resistance) usually captured metrics, ratios supply demand ES. We discuss application model using widely studied ES, such pollination, pest control natural enemies, microclimate regulation. Finally, research agenda connect presented ideas with other prominent topics that must be developed support management targeting provision. The prominence science calls for contributions give scientific community opportunity reflect underlying mechanisms avoid oversimplified assessments.

Abstract The large-scale loss of ecosystem assets around the world, and resultant reduction in provision nature’s benefits to people, underscores urgent need for better metrics ecological performance as well their integration into decision-making. Gross product (GEP) is a measure aggregate monetary value final ecosystem-related goods services specific area given accounting period. GEP captures use many production processes across economy, which are then valued terms society. has five key elements that make it transparent, trackable, readily understandable: (1) focus on contributions people; (2) measurement stocks flows; (3) quantification service use; (4) an understanding supply chains through realization; (5) disaggregation groups. Correspondingly, series innovative policies based have been designed implemented China. theoretical practical lessons provided by these experiences can support continued policy innovation green inclusive development world.
