Sustainable development (SD) is vital for the progress of Chinese provinces, especially in face emerging challenges. This study constructs an index system SD based on five dimensions: economic, social, ecological, political, and cultural aspects, aligning with scientific connotations contemporary requirements. We employ improved entropy-weight-TOPSIS method to assess 30 provinces from 2012 2022. Our analysis explores dynamic evolution, regional disparities, coupling coordination, long-term trends, convergence provincial SD. The findings include: (1) Provincial China has shown consistent growth, but significant disparities remain, forming a gradient distribution high low order “East-Central-Northeast-West.” (2) While both intra-regional inter-regional differences have decreased over time, continue be significant, serving as primary source differences. (3) Coupling coordination across dimensions improved; however, imbalance persists, uncoordinated remaining prominent issue. (4) A clear “club convergence” phenomenon observed, indicating that neighboring influences one another. Higher adjacent regions increases likelihood upward shifts, while lower tends lead downward shifts. (5) Evidence σ-convergence β-convergence suggests ultimately converging toward stable state. These provide valuable insights policymakers aiming enhance sustainable China’s provinces.

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

Land use/land cover changes (LUCCs) significantly reshape ecosystem services (ESs) within the framework of climate change. Studying LUCC and its impact on ESs is crucial for a comprehensive understanding human activities ecosystems. The InVEST model coupled with predicted land use data were used to analyze spatiotemporal characteristics four (soil conservation (SC), water yield (WY), carbon storage (CS), habitat quality (HQ)) under three scenarios from 2040 2100 quantified trade-offs/synergies bundles these Bailong River Basin (BRB). results indicated that (1) SSP1-2.6 scenario, there an anticipated increase in forestland, concurrent decrease grassland, farmland, built-up land, enhancement 2100. forestland farmland SSP2-4.5 scenario showed gradual decrease, expansion grassland land. Except HQ, other reduced. Both decreased. Built-up increased, decreased SSP5-8.5 scenario. (2) Synergistic effects identified among ESs, most pronounced synergy observed between CS HQ. Spatially, six pairs synergistic effects. Under scenarios, present trade-off (3) characterization ES revealed balanced predominantly occurred southern region basin. Among had highest representation, followed by SSP2-4.5, while lowest proportion. findings facilitate sustainable development diverse offer theoretical technical insights devising spatial regulation policies ecosystem-based management strategies.

A deep understanding of the spatiotemporal changes in ecosystem services (ESs) under influence urbanisation, as well clarifying trade-offs and synergies between different their driving factors, is crucial for sustainable regional development formulation rational urban expansion policies. Dramatic landscape patterns, driven by interplay human activities natural processes, can have profound effects on ESs. Existing research primarily discusses synergistic ESs, with less focus interactions among patterns In present study, we established a multi-model fusion method ES analysis (PLUS-InVEST-Trade-offs/Synergies-Geographical Detectors (GDs)) to explore ESs factors Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle from an agglomeration perspective. Our findings indicated following. (1) The distribution synergistic/trade-offs relationships exhibited spatial variability. varying responses clusters these policies, along unique topography landforms, are reasons behind differences clusters. (2) Circle, displayed differentiation. certain range, degree interacts fragmentation promote will provide new analytical perspective policymakers region serve valuable reference formulating targeted policies sub-regions.
