Analysis of Ecosystem Service Value Trends and Drivers in the Yellow River Delta, China

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 346 - 346

Published: Feb. 6, 2025

Ecosystem service value (ESV) reflects ecosystem functions and benefits; however, the factors influencing ESV mechanisms driving it in wetlands non-wetlands are not yet fully understood. The Yellow River Delta (YRD) is distinguished by presence of numerous wetland areas that both Reserve non-Reserve thus was selected as designated study area. In this study, spatiotemporal structures YRD between 2000 2020 were studied using land cover change analysis equivalent factor methodology. addition, we analyzed drivers behind geographical variability applying Geographical Detector method. results showed structure National Nature relatively stable, whereas area exhibited greater fluctuations; is, decreased 11.43% compared with more stable areas, where 4.93%. Furthermore, disparities distribution use types gave rise to a discernible spatial overall ESV, northeast exhibiting significantly higher levels southwest. Additionally, past two decades, center gravity regions has shifted towards urban centers, have migrated coastline. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index identified main driver heterogeneity. findings highly relevant regional ecological conservation promotion economic social development.

Impacts of land use and cover changes on ecosystem service values from 1992 to 2052 in Gena District, Southwest Ethiopia

Scientific African, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 24, P. e02244 - e02244

Published: May 7, 2024

Land use and cover changes alter the functions structures of ecosystem, resulting in variations Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs). Thus, we examined impacts land use/land (LULC) on ESVs from 1992 to 2052 using geospatial technologies. The Landsat images were classified supervised maximum likelihood classification technique, future LULC predicted CA-Markov model. adopted empirical studies their evaluated based benefit transfer method data for study periods, with corresponding modified coefficients. results revealed that, proportions grassland, forestland shrubland declined by 58.5%, 48.15% 33.48%, respectively, 2022. Simultaneously, highest rate expansions waterbodies (34 times), farmland settlement threefold as well bareland (60.2%) 2022 was noticed. As a result, decreasing trends experienced total district US$33.6 million US$27.79 2022, are anticipated further decline US$25.94 2052. forestland, grassland shrank 53.1%, 40% 2.78% 33.28%, 33.16% 1.4% these continue next three decades, except trend increase ecosystem service value. Therefore, government should redesign effective management strategies alleviate negative consequences changes, facilitate payment services, design ecotourism boost income residents major management-based production systems ESV district.

Spatial and Temporal Matching Measurement of Ecosystem Service Supply, Demand and Human Well-Being and Its Coordination in the Great Rivers Economic Belt—Evidence from China’s Yangtze River Economic Belt

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(17), P. 7487 - 7487

Published: Aug. 29, 2024

Understanding the complex relationship between ESSD and human well-being is of paramount significance to protecting regional ecology, enhancing achieving sustainable development. We take Yangtze River Economic Belt as an example use multi-source data analyse land cover change, well spatiotemporal evolution well-being. explore reveal coupling coordination The results show that from 2000 2020, overall trend in ESs region improved significantly, supply notably increased, whereas demand growth rate was even more pronounced. supply–demand ratio for water yield soil conservation showed little with variations <10%. However, carbon sequestration declined significantly by 41.83%, food increased 42.93%. spatial pattern presented a mismatch, which characterised ‘low high eastern low western region’. Overall, remained stable line level socio-economic development, thereby exhibiting distinct ‘polarisation rich poor’. Well-being higher central urban agglomerations lower plateau mountainous areas. Over 20 years, degree 0.0107, gradually transitioned moderate imbalance coordination. Spatially, Hubei Province, Chongqing Municipality Delta were main ‘high–high’ agglomeration areas, Sichuan Basin Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau ‘low–low’ Based on these findings, we propose following management recommendations other related great river economic belts: optimise structure, rationally allocate natural resources, strengthen external connections promote coordinated enhance implementation policies ecological environmental protection, establish compensation mechanisms coordinate protection full scope focus harmonising human–land relationships, build multi-stakeholder collaborative governance mechanism elevation
