ABSTRACT Ecosystem service valuation is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of ecosystem functions. However, services provided by expanding dry Afromontane forests, which could show potential conservation sustainability, have not been adequately quantified. This study aims to fill knowledge and methodological gaps assessing value Hugumburda Dry Forest (HDAF) in Tigray, Ethiopia, using Services Provision Index (ESPI), updated (ES) coefficients, ES (ESV) function. We applied Economics Ecosystems Biodiversity (TEEB) model analyze provisioning, regulating, supporting, cultural ESs. Satellite imagery from US Geological Survey (USGS) over past four decades, along with 240 control points, helped highlight inherent values forest. Our results that HDAF forest cover expected increase 19.1 km 2 (3.8%) 2030, up 88.6 2020. Consequently, ESV provisions are projected 1.88 million dollars annually, benefiting local community if current expansion efforts continue. found a significant correlation ( p < 0.01) between area forestland, shrubland, arable land, grassland, water bodies. The ESPI were highest forestland grassland (0.38) lowest bodies (−0.51). primarily provides regulatory services, followed services. combination optical remote sensing valuing ESs, promoting sustainable management practices, recognizing increasing benefits both environmental social outcomes. increases influenced only but also quality cover.

The key ecological functional zone plays a significant role in maintaining ecosystem security, water conservation function and environmental protection. However, owing to rapid industrialization urbanization, some zones have undergone great changes land use, which has changed the landscape pattern characteristics resulted risks, affecting regional environment security. In this study, core source area of Middle Route China's South–to–North Water Diversion Project is selected as case study. A risk index (ERI) was constructed evaluate driven by use transformation. Moreover, ERI's spatiotemporal were investigated using combination geographic information systems geostatistical techniques, reveal dominant types associated with risks their causes. We found that (1) there not notable shift level increased slightly from 2010 2015. conversion previously unproductive into places for industrial production agricultural productive played phenomenon. From 2015 2020, Danjiangkou Reservoir officially started operation. Furthermore, improvement residents' awareness protection natural forest significantly reduced risk. (2) strong positive autocorrelation, exhibiting high east center, low west periphery. (3) An obvious corresponding relation exists between impacts topography, soil, climate on patterns Additionally, strict policies implemented Chinese government realized remarkable achievements promoting risks. Our study can provide decision–making basis local authorities conduct prevention activities ensure sustainable northward flow clean water.

The imbalance in the “production–living–ecology” function (PLEF) has become a major issue for global cities due to rapid advancement of urbanization and industrialization worldwide. realization PLEF coupling coordination is crucial region’s sustainable development. Existing research defined concept from perspective land measured its level using relevant models. However, there still room improvement indicator system, methods, other aspects.
