ABSTRACT The ability of ecosystems to resist and recover from external disturbances is declining due climate change, increased frequency disasters, intensified human activities. Global vegetation resilience considered be at risk being lost. sensitive fragile Tibetan Plateau (TP) has experienced changes in management patterns over the past five decades, but complexity defining resilience, there still no unified understanding spatial long time‐series trends on TP. In this study, we introduce method based critical slowing down, making it possible clarify distribution temporal dynamics results show low northeastern southwestern edges TP Three River Source region. area experiencing loss approximately 1.16–1.44 times larger than gain. Vegetation exhibited a trend, with rate decline after 2014 more double that preceding period. Factors such as elevation, type, hydrothermal condition significantly influence resilience. These findings improve our its ecosystem vulnerability. We also recommend ecological restoration efforts maintained regularly assessed.

Urbanization has increasingly disrupted natural ecosystems, leading to various environmental problems and slowing sustainable economic social development. Ecological restoration zoning is key efficient efforts helps balance growth with ecological protection. This study develops an risk evaluation system, constructs security pattern, identifies urban construction space guide the of Jiaozuo City. The goal create a scientific practical program. findings are as follows: (1) in area characterized by distribution ‘low northern mountains southern mudflats high central plains’, whereas resilience ‘high low plains’. (2) pattern led identification 57 source areas, 164 corridors, 254 pinch points, 36 barrier points. (3) divides into five zones: protection, priority restoration, general management, moderate utilization, zones. Each zone requires specific strategies for recovery. provides foundation spatial planning, green development also new perspective framework research.

With the increasing threats of global climate change and human activities to terrestrial ecosystems, understanding quality alpine grassland ecosystems their influencing factors is fundamental for effective ecosystem management improving well-being. However, current adaptive plans grasslands based on multi-criteria assessment are limited. This study utilized field investigations at 77 sampling points, drone remote sensing, satellite sensing data construct an index vegetation soil indicators, assess ecosystem’s resilience pressure. The revealed that Tibetan Plateau were classified into five zones, indicating significant differences in pressure levels. Key findings showed High-Quality Pressure Zone comprise 41.88% area meadow 31.89% steppe, while Quality Improvement-Limitation account 21.14% 35.8% respective areas. recommends graded protection recovery strategies levels: prioritizing high-quality grasslands, implementing dynamic monitoring enhancement moderate-quality applying artificial interventions suitable species low-quality grasslands. research underscores importance zoning-based sustainable provides valuable insights Plateau.

A comprehensive understanding of the spatiotemporal changes and influencing factors ecosystem service levels is crucial for regional sustainable development coordination. The Yellow River Basin faces challenges such as ecological degradation due to uneven burdens. This study constructed an evaluation framework based on five dimensions. combined weighting model was used assess levels, characteristics, nine provincial capital cities in from 2010 2020. results indicated that: (1) There were notable differences among Basin. first category cities, rich tourism resources, exhibited high levels. second currently undergoing industrial green transformation, urgently needed achieve a balance between economic protection. third faced poor socioeconomic conditions limited resources. (2) Resource energy use, Ecological environmental protection, Socioeconomic most significant dimensions (3) Indicators per capita disposable income, road area, urban coverage, electricity consumption unit GDP, number higher education institutions had considerable impact suggests optimizing structure, promoting clean development, supporting strengthening infrastructure enhance protect services

The coupling coordination relationship between ecosystem services supply–demand and human well-being in arid inland regions is increasingly vulnerable to imbalance risks under the combined pressures of climate change intensified anthropogenic activities. Here, we assessed dynamic changes supply–demand, well-being, their relationships influencing factors Hexi Regions by integrating remote sensing data, ecological model, ratio (ESDR), degree (CCD) partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Our results showed that six key supply, demand, ESDR from 1990 2020 exhibited greater surplus Qilian Mountains stronger deficits urban surrounding areas Corridor. deficit water yield accounted for 32% Corridor with large cropland irrigated, four times Mountains, indicating a serious mismatch space time. Additionally, survival-oriented across still dominant. Overall, progressed towards high level coordination, higher values observed oases central eastern Mountains. food production where CCD was generally exceeded 0.7. Climate, vegetation, land use intensity were drivers spatial heterogeneity CCD. Human made contribution than other elements influence paths. can provide reference promoting coordinated development environment sustainable regions.
