Climate change and human activities have considerably changed the spatial patterns functional elements of regional habitats. Understanding spatiotemporal changes in habitat quality (HQ) their potential driving factors is essential for maintaining ecosystem health protecting biodiversity. To explore effect physical on HQ Southwest China, we firstly analyzed land-use intensity (LCI). We then evaluated based InVEST model explored heterogeneity main a geographical detector weighted regression model. The results showed that LCI had obvious differences, from low-quality to high-quality (LCI1) was significantly higher than (LCI2). improved steadily China 1990–2015, showing trend low–high–low southeast northwest. Moreover, there were twelve factors, including aboveground biomass, ecological land area ratio, population density, slope, etc., which significant impact differences HQ, effects different observable heterogeneity. LCI2 difference greater LCI1. These suggested current protection management policy positive improving HQ. Our study provides an important decision-making reference sustainable development utilization restoration.

Continued pressure and transformation of land-use by humans are key drivers biodiversity ecosystem services (ES) loss. To determine the sustainability possible future practices, it is important to anticipate likely changes ES. This can help stakeholders decision-makers understand assess viability current development policies design alternative pathways. Focusing on a hotspot in southwestern Ethiopia, we considered four scenarios (namely: 'Gain over grain', 'Coffee conservation', 'Mining green gold' 'Food first' scenarios) that were developed an earlier project via participatory scenario planning. We modelled mapped spatial distribution six ES (erosion control, carbon storage, coffee production, crop livestock feed, woody-plant richness) for landscape scenarios. Our results show potential differed strongly across Changes strongest involving large-scale agricultural intensification; not uniformly distributed landscape. Smallholder farmers specializing cash crops ('Gain grain' scenario) would cause little change generation, but major losses result from expanding either food or production ('Mining first'). Finally, conservation' appears be most sustainable because secure diverse long term. findings provide valuable input could identify options.

Land-use intensification is a major threat to biodiversity in agricultural grasslands and fertilization one of the main drivers. The effects on plant functional composition (community-weighted mean traits ecological indicator values) are well studied lowland regions, but have received less attention mountain grasslands. Moreover, inner-alpine dry valleys, fertilizer often applied combination with irrigation, irrigation known. We experimentally tested vascular species richness Swiss Alps. After five years, increased yield relationship was quadratic maximum reached at intermediate levels (58 kg N ha−1year−1). all plants forbs decreased, average, by 6 5 respectively, per 50 extra (ha−1 year−1) applied. Fertilization also favored fast-growing (increased specific leaf area) typically found productive environments values for soil productivity moisture). In contrast, we no community composition, which suggests that does not affect diversity same extent as these mesic hay meadows, least mid-term. Our finding can be achieved very important from an applied, agronomical conservation point view. It without loss yield, farming costs time environmental pollution negative reduced applying fertilizer. therefore recommend maintaining non-intensive land use keeping inputs low possible maintain high

Islands are the confluence of terrestrial ecology and marine ecology. With urban expansion economic development, ecological environment islands is facing serious threats. In order to study island area land use change/cover (LUCC) its impact on ecosystem service value (ESV), this was conducted. This evaluated ESV Zhoushan based LUCC, using equivalent coefficient method, simulated analyzed in 2025 under different scenarios "Future Land Use Simulation Model". The results showed: (1) From 2000 2020, showed a "∧" type change trend, total amount decreased by 14.1141 million yuan. (2) spatial distribution changes have certain regularity. center water system relatively high but does not significantly over time, while buildings cultivated areas edge low, and, significant. (3) Compared with business-as-usual (BAU) scenario shows slow downward socio-economic development (SED) significant protection priority (EPP) has increased. research provides theoretical basis support for utilization space improvement "eco-economy-society" benefits; addition, provide scientific decision-making sustainable resources (island cities) management ecosystems.
