Changes in land cover and use (LULC) can impact water availability by altering the structure functioning of ecosystems. Accurately projecting impacts LULC on yield (WY) is utmost importance for regional landscape management. Taking rapidly urbanizing Taihu Lake Basin (TLB) as an example, coupled with PLUS-InVEST model, three scenarios a natural development (ND) scenario, urban (UD) ecological protection (EP) scenario were set to simulate response mechanisms changes WY influence policy-making conservation capacity river basins. (1) During 2000 2020, experienced rapid urbanization, which was evident conversion forest cropland development. (2) From TLB’s first decreased then increased, ranging from 201.52 × 108 m3 242.70 m3. Spatially, uneven distribution pattern depth emerged, mountainous hilly regions exhibiting higher compared plain areas. Temporally, total primarily influenced precipitation, while areas increased showed certain correlation experiencing expansion construction land. (3) By 2030, TLB will continue expand under UD area EP scenario. expected vary across scenarios, highest observed followed ND exhibits lowest yield. These findings offer scientifically informed insights guidance future changes, carrying substantial effects maintaining preservation promoting high-quality TLB.
