The ecosystem services (ESs) and landscape patterns (LPs) in a region have marked impact on human production life even play an important role the achievement of regional Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given limited consideration LPs ESs SDGs current research, it is especially crucial to provide comprehensive targeted policy support for sustainable development less developed areas from environmental perspective. Utilizing Lincang National Innovation Demonstration Zone as case study, we evaluation index system at county level City. This was established based extensive field surveys, visits, data collection conducted with local government departments relevant organizations between 2021 2022. Our study found that there significant spatial heterogeneity relationship or each county. Therefore, regulation optimization should not adopt one-size-fits-all approach; rather, measures be implemented specific SDGs. Additionally, dual-factor interaction enhancement explaining SDG. implies promoting synergy can effectively drive certain Overall, this provides critical scientific decision-making references governments realization construction more beautiful Lincang.

Evaluating potential (PES) and realized (RES) ecosystem services can significantly improve the clarity understanding of sustainable natural resource management practices. This study determined spatial distribution indices assessed economic value both PES RES in Northern Thailand. The geographic intensity 17 ecological six land use categories (i.e., forests, agriculture, shrubland, urban land, water bodies, barren land) were estimated for unit values RES, by using Co$ting Nature Model.

Balancing priorities for a sustainable future in cities: Land use change and urban ecosystem service dynamics

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 382, P. 125460 - 125460

Published: April 19, 2025

Cities must prepare for future uncertainties associated with climate change and societal challenges. This study used the Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS) model to simulate potential scenarios Tehran metropolitan area. We considered various development their implications.The sustainable scenario produced more balanced outcomes, including rangeland expansion preservation of cropland. In addition, using Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs (InVEST) model, we quantified seven ecosystem services from 2017 2043, revealing temporal spatial variations. Some showed significant declines in water yield, carbon storage, urban cooling, habitat quality, stormwater retention, flood mitigation, recreation potential, particularly southern areas. contrast, is a promising scenario, along compact growth nature conservation. Utilizing Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method, identified risk mitigation management as critical service priorities. Synergies emerged among heat while trade-offs were observed between others, such storage quality. Priority maps fuzzy geospatial multicriteria analysis high-priority areas protection restoration. The proposed integrated multi-scenario approach discovered gap regional, urban, landscape planning, emphasizing need priorities minimize promote future. helps clarify current situation trends nature-based solutions that help build resilience cities

Unveiling Decoupled Social‐Ecological Networks of Great Lake Basin: An Ecosystem Services Approach

Earth s Future, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(11)

Published: Nov. 1, 2024

Abstract With the backdrop of climate change and human activities, complex interactions within social‐ecological system have brought unprecedented challenges to sustainable development. However, there is still a lack quantitative methods for analyzing dynamics system. Here, we introduced network approach incorporating supply demand ecosystem services (ESs) as bridges took Dongting Lake basin in China research area. From 2000 2020, discovered that number linkages among meteorological elements ESs decreased from 5 0. Along with this, density (from 26 22) connectivity 43 28) showed decoupling trends networks. These results implied decreasing impacts importance considering activities impacts. Based on average degree analysis networks, proportions cultivated land forest were key (both around 0.900), while population artificial proportion important (around 0.850 0.800, respectively). More management practices are required because these significant supply‐demand alignments multiple ESs. We further illustrated spatial mismatches ESs, along negative effects urbanization. This study highlighted advantage integrating ecosystems into analysis, provided policy insights serving development typical great lake basins.
