Effect of LULC Changes on Annual Water Yield in the Urban Section of the Chili River, Arequipa, Using the InVEST Model

Water, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(5), P. 664 - 664

Published: Feb. 24, 2024

Arequipa is a semi-desert city located in southern Peru which depends on the Chili River as its only water source. During recent years, this has increased number of inhabitants significantly result internal migratory flows and population growth. Because this, undergone rapid urbanization process urban areas near river caused destruction agricultural areas, well their native vegetation. This change land use can be quantified through satellite image analysis across many but noted, there are no studies impact yield (WY) section river. Now, by using Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Compensation (InVEST) model, allows WY study area to evaluated millimeters cubic meters introducing series variables, such precipitation, reference evapotranspiration types classes, among others, it possible determine that from was 1,743,414 m3 1984 1,323,792 2022; type with highest increase respect percentage contribution WY, going 30.43% 49.62% between 2022, respectively. The mitigated loss total explained higher runoff rate, surface flow drainage problems area.

Integrating Ecosystem Services and Health into Landscape Functional Zoning: A Case Study of the Jinan Southern Mountainous Area, China

Land, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(10), P. 1561 - 1561

Published: Sept. 25, 2024

Ecosystems and their services to society have exhibited dramatic degradation all over the world, landscape planning based on ecosystem service (ES) science is a promising way mitigate ES loss improve human well-being. However, health, which crucial for intrinsic values, may be overlooked in ES-based planning. Therefore, we proposed functional zoning method by combining EH using Jinan Southern Mountainous Area as case study. Specifically, first quantified mapped six ESs (including regulating, cultural, provisioning services) three properties (ecosystem vigor, organization, resilience). Then, used coupling coordination analysis determine of EH, adopted bundle reveal ES-EH compositions. Finally, zones were delineated spatially overlapping maps types degrees. The results show that different uneven spatial distributions. In terms degree, high values located along mountains aggregated eastern part study area, Caishi town had highest degree scale. Furthermore, five identified, i.e., bundles multifunctionality, subordinate crop production, medium levels, low levels. nine grids within one zone homogeneous compositions coordination. This can contribute integration into provides instrument achieve synergic management.

Assessment and simulation of ecosystem carbon storage in rapidly urbanizing areas based on land use cover: a case study of the southern Jiangsu urban agglomeration, China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11

Published: Sept. 4, 2023

Since China’s reform and opening-up period, the southern Jiangsu urban agglomeration has been one of fastest urbanizing regions in country. This rapid urbanization led to dramatic changes land use cover that have primary drivers carbon stock terrestrial ecosystem. In this study, we utilize Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs (InVEST) model a patch-generating simulation (PLUS) analyze stocks over past 30 years. We then simulate study area year 2050 under natural growth, cultivated conservation, ecological conservation scenarios. The results showed 1) years, increased by 2.98 times, reaching 7,408.42 km 2 2020. contrast, forested continued decrease with urbanization. 2) Between 1990 2020, decreased 5.34%. spatial distribution are consistent use. 3) By 2050, loss was largest growth scenario at 10.49 mt, while smallest protection 0.97 mt. Under scenario, 9.9 indicate adoption measures can effectively control reduction rapidly areas. 4) conversion forest reason for area, which primarily located outward expansion area. provides reference- data-based support management, decision-making, planning
