With the rapid progress in urbanization and economic development, impact of land use change (LUC) on ecosystem services is becoming increasingly significant. However, accuracy ecological risk assessment faces challenges due to presence uncertainty factors. Using PLUS model, this study aims simulate predict changes (LUCs), focusing southern hilly regions southeastern China as a case study, conducting an in-depth uncertainty. Firstly, spatiotemporal simulation LUCs region from 1990 2030 was conducted under multiple scenarios. Subsequently, differences spatial temporal distribution service value (ESV) across different years forecast scenarios were revealed, followed by detailed analysis ESV. Finally, calculating Ecological Risk Index (ERI), systematically analyzed evolution trend 2030. The main research findings are follows: (1) conversion proportions types vary significantly Compared 2020, National Development Scenarios (NDSs), there has been slight decrease around 3% total area farmland, forest, grassland. Protection Scenario (EPS) Urban (UDS) scenarios, increase forest grassland, with rise approximately 1.5% converted built-up land.

Introduction Karst regions are integral to the global carbon cycle. However, land use changes of karst driven by urbanization and desertification contribute instability storage, leading uncertainties in future. Understanding these instabilities is crucial for formulating sequestration management strategies. Methods This study employed Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS) Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs (InVEST) estimate introduced Coefficient Variation (CV) assess uncertainty. Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) was applied explore mechanisms, while Polynomial (PR) identified stable intervals factors, informing land-use policies. Results Discussion (1) From 2000 2020, Guiyang’s storage rose from 136.62 Tg 142.13 Tg. By 2035, projections under natural development, urban expansion, ecological protection scenarios increases 147.50 Tg, 147.40 147.82 respectively. (2) Carbon increased uncertainty expected decrease 2035.

The official establishment of China’s national parks marks a new stage in the construction ecological civilization system. National systematically protect areas with richest biodiversity and most complete ecosystem processes China. This is beneficial not only for natural conservation work, but also world’s response to environmental issues, such as climate change. Based on remote sensing images land use four periods 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, this study calculated changes each park during corresponding period. Using Plus model LEAS module, driving factors change were studied explored. In addition, used InVEST carbon storage using from different pools basic data operation, obtain over past 30 years. hotspot analysis function, years determined. Consequently, based CARS module PLUS model, Northeast Tiger Leopard Park 2030 was estimated under scenarios.

Land use change profoundly impacts habitat quality, necessitating an understanding of historical and future trends for effective regional planning ecological protection, particularly in ecologically sensitive areas. This study examines the Taihu Lake Basin (TLB), a region undergoing significant land changes exhibiting considerable vulnerability. Utilizing InVEST model (v3.14.2), we analyzed dynamics quality TLB from 2000 to 2020. We subsequently employed PLUS (v1.40) predict under various scenarios. Our key findings include following: (1) From 2020, experienced 97.62% increase construction land, alongside reductions cultivated forestland.
