ABSTRACT Succession is a fundamental concept in ecology because it indicates how species populations, communities, and ecosystems change over time on new substrate or after disturbance. A mechanistic understanding of succession needed to predict will respond land‐use design effective ecosystem restoration strategies. Yet, despite century conceptual advances comprehensive successional theory lacking. Here we provide an overview 19 theories (‘models’) their key points, group them based similarity, explain development ideas suggestions move forward. Four groups models can be recognised. The first ( patch & plants ) focuses at the level consists three subgroups that originated early 20th century. One subgroup processes (dispersal, establishment, performance) operate sequentially during succession. Another emphasises individualistic responses succession, this driven by traits. last vegetation structure underlying demographic second provides more holistic view considering ecosystem, its biota, interactions, diversity, processes. third landscape considers larger spatial scale includes effect surrounding matrix as distance neighbouring patches determines potential for seed dispersal, quality abundance composition sources biotic dispersal vectors. fourth socio‐ecological systems human component focusing where management practices have long‐lasting legacies pathways regrowing vegetations deliver range services local global stakeholders. four differ (patch, landscape) organisational (plant species, system), increase scope, reflect increasingly broader perspective time. They coincide approximately with periods prevailing time, although all views still coexist. are: (from 1910 onwards) was seen through lens replacement; communities 1965 when there succession; landscapes 2000 realised strongly impact pathways, increased remote‐sensing technology allowed better quantification context; people 2015 societal drivers strong effects are important well‐being, most successful done people.

Revealing trade-off and synergistic relationships among ecosystem services plays a key role in ensuring stable for long-term development. It is the crucial precondition realizing watershed protection high-quality The variations land use during 1990–2020 are investigated by taking typical areas returning farmland to forests as an example. spatiotemporal distributions of six services, namely carbon storage, water yield, net primary productivity (NPP), soil conservation, habitat quality, forest recreation quantified InVEST model statistical data. We also uncover spatial difference Loess Plateau, located northern Shaanxi, with hot spot analysis probe correlations services. results show that: (1) decreased dramatically. On contrary, orchards increased significantly. (2) During same period, storage quality increased, NPP, initially declined, but subsequently rose higher values than that 1990. All these southeastern part research area surpass those found northwest.

Vegetation cover significantly improves the terrestrial environment by increasing carbon sequestration capacity. It is projected that a major threat to China's will be happened 2030 due increment in emissions. Identifying reliable techniques assess absorption green coverage necessary build resilient environment. This research examines performance of two weighted regression models explain capacity vegetation (VCS), spatial distribution, and degree influence for reducing emission. The results demonstrate changes VCS from slow fast, with an average yearly growth rate 0.043% (2005–2010) 1.963% (2010–2015) more obvious local cities. Variables such as night-time light index, relative humidity, length sunlight substantially impacted capacity, although their effect varied yearly. Finally, comparative show study can play influential role finding specific locations facing issues emissions support governments through association effective measures mitigate it.
