Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Jan. 9, 2025

Ecosystems worldwide are facing significant challenges resulting from the dual pressures of global climate change and human activities, particularly in terms biodiversity loss associated with land-use change. Focusing on Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB), this study uses System Dynamics (SD) - Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS) model to simulate development under different scenarios shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs) representative concentration (RCPs) 2030 2050. Furthermore, InVEST is applied evaluate changes habitat quality (HQ) over period 2000 A hotspot analysis further highlights spatial heterogeneity HQ within YREB. The showed that pattern YREB 2020 2050 will be dominated by cropland eastern region, grassland north-west, forest land central southern regions, a steady increase built-up east. index exhibits gradual east west, ultimately declining 0.726 SSP585 scenario for This trend reflects moderate degradation (HD), degree shifting towards lower higher proportions HQ. Spatial reveals region identified as cold spot, categorized non-significant, while western emerges hot where exceeds 40%. These findings offer scientific foundation promoting high-quality enhancing conservation

The Response of Carbon Storage to Multi-Objective Land Use/Cover Spatial Optimization and Vulnerability Assessment

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(6), P. 2235 - 2235

Published: March 7, 2024

The dynamic changes in land use/cover (LULC) significantly influence carbon storage, and assessing the vulnerability of storage services different basins is crucial for a comprehensive understanding impacts human activities on ecosystems. objective this study to propose framework optimizing LULC, simulating by integrating MOP, PLUS, InVEST models. results show that forests play role enhancing Yangtze River Basin (YRB). Carbon upper reaches YRB rise, counteracting decrease caused expansion built-up land. However, middle lower YRB, LULC has negative impact ecosystem services. Under natural development scenarios, projected 68.84 × 106 tons, leading increased scenario ecological economic balance, expected increase 97 tons. In future, while restricting expansion, emphasis should be placed expanding forest areas more effectively enhance basins.

Spatiotemporal Coupling of New-Type Urbanization and Ecosystem Services in the Huaihe River Basin, China: Heterogeneity and Regulatory Strategy

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(2), P. 286 - 286

Published: Jan. 30, 2025

Strengthening the exploration of synergistic promotion mechanisms between ecosystem services (ESs) and new urbanization is great significance for watershed development. In this work, we revealed evolution mechanism coupling coordination development degree (CCD) ESs its driving factors in Huaihe River Basin (HRB) from 1980 to 2020 using a combination CCD model, Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) method, GeoDetector model. Additionally, employed PLUS model investigate multi-scenario simulations. The results demonstrate that showed decline initially, followed by an increase, while index consistent annual growth over four decades. Furthermore, yearly optimization trend. demonstrated notable spatial clustering characteristics, with such as precipitation, distance water body, elevation, per area GDP emerged primary drivers. Under scenarios ecological protection, comprehensive development, natural value 2050 maintained upward trend; however, it fell decrease under scenario cropland protection. These research findings offer valuable decision-making support differentiated regulation functions high-quality HRB.

The Influences of Land Use and Economic Policy on Main Ecosystem Services in Rural East China

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(4), P. 1529 - 1529

Published: Feb. 12, 2025

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, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(2), P. 411 - 411

Published: Feb. 16, 2025

Ecosystem services (ESs) are increasingly recognized as critical to sustainable development and human well-being frequently used indicators in environmental governance policies. However, existing studies mostly assess the performance of isolated single ESs, ignoring management data needs local governments for comprehensive gate-keeping easy monitoring regional ecosystems, lacking holistic ESs. To address these shortcomings, this study assessed spatial changes five main ESs Yangtze River basin (YTRB) China by creating a indicator (CESI) using multi-source data, introduced hotspot analyses econometric models explore driving forces CESI. Results showed that during period, CESI YTRB increased from 0.44 2000 0.47 2020. High-value areas were mainly concentrated hilly mountainous regions, whereas low-value predominantly situated plain areas. From 2020, hot spots primarily located middle lower reaches YTRB. Conversely, cold upper The regression analysis revealed significant negative association between socioeconomic factors CESI, while positive natural background Of factors, average precipitation has largest effect on with each 1% increase resulting up 0.369% In contrast, GDP density had greatest impact triggering reduction 6.210%. findings suggest which integrates multiple can effectively simplify difficulty ecological regulation. mechanism indicates protection policies, when combined conditions intensity activities region, would be more coherent varying regulatory intensities.
