The alpine marsh wetlands in the Qilian Mountains of Qinghai (QMQ) are under constant threat from effects climate change and human activities. Identifying key ecological protection areas (KEPAs) is prerequisite for formulating strategies executing spatial planning programs. current study developed a novel method to identify KEPAs by following ecosystem pattern–characteristics–functions (EPCFs) combined source–ecological corridor–ecological node research paradigm. More specifically, an evaluation system resistance was constructed integrating drivers EPCFs wetlands. Additionally, wetland degradation disturbances were analyzed through incorporated with field survey. findings indicated following: (1) had total water yield approximately 3.96 × 108 m3. soil conservation rate habitat quality per unit area calculated be 52.92 t·hm−2·a−1 0.992, respectively, higher values observed on southern bank lower northern river QMQ.

The growing need for food provision and materials challenges the maintenance of ecosystem services. Understanding composition services factors that affect are critical to improving rural development. An assessment in densely populated areas East China has been conducted. results show average value was 34.99 thousand RMB/ha. 30.01 RMB/ha, which main part relationships between were complex. Provision (nutrition) had no significant correlation with regulation (material) mainly influenced by forest cover, proportion arable land, population (adjusted R2 = 0.36). Social land use also a impact on nutrition material Land economic policies could regulate service changing types, mobility, income. Our findings may shed light synergetic development services, village worldwide.

Land use and planning decisions, such as the designation of urban development areas, have a significant impact on ecosystem services (Ess). In planning, it is essential to consider environmental values when determining zones. Spatial analyses play crucial role in guiding decision-making processes by balancing value expansion. This study aims identify areas alignment or conflict between derived from settlement expansion zones according Environmental Regulation Plan Izmir metropolitan area. The employs InVEST® (Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs) model Geographic Information Systems (GIS) map services. services, habitat quality, carbon storage sequestration, sediment delivery ratio, were analyzed. results demonstrate trade-off high five largest with are located near coast converted shrubland forest areas. underscores importance identifying prioritizing conservation sites composite value.

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. Landscape fragmentation has great CS, HQ, SC Due insufficient research data, this focused only middle reaches River. However, results provide new solving problem regional sustainable development directions ideas follow-up field.

The cultivated land requisition–compensation balance (CLRCB) policy is an important implemented by China to address the reduction in and ensure food security. Although this has alleviated loss of quantity, it had complex diverse impacts on ecosystem services. Taking Hubei Province as study area, research explores impact implementation CLRCB services simulates changes area 2030 interactions among various results show following: (1) from 2000 2020, achieved a quantity through excessive compensation but failed reach goals balancing yield productivity. (2) During process, habitat quality decreased 501,862, carbon storage lost 1.3 × 107 t, indicating negative ecological impacts; soil conservation increased 184.2 106 water production 21.29 108 m3. Within storage, well production, exhibited synergistic relationships, while remaining pairs showed trade-off relationships. (3) simulation indicates that are highest under natural development scenario, protection both which superior urban scenario. Under relationships remain unchanged, these change significantly other two scenarios. This emphasizes future should not only focus maintaining also consider comprehensive benefits services, order achieve sustainable land-use management conservation.
