Research on Human Needs and the Valorization of Supply–Need Relationships in Ecosystem Services—A Case Study of the Southwest Karst Region

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(3), P. 588 - 588

Human needs alter ecosystem services (ESs), which then affect human needs. Based on the theory, in ESs are classified into four major categories of A monetization method was used to quantify service need value (ESNV), ES equivalent calculate supply (ESSV), and correlation coefficient understand relationships mutual influences among Finally, demand were compared obtain gap between for ESs. Taking Hechi City, a city with predominantly karst landscape, as an example, we found that: (1) total area high-value areas generally City increased by 10,935.15 km2, whereas low-value decreased 11,094.07 km2. (2) positive exists various demands. Spiritual material moderately significantly positively correlated, 0.54. Security correlated needs, 0.6. (3) The ESNV ESSV slightly imbalanced. Du’an requires external CNY 21.9192 million living material, while Jinchengjiang has potential export water 22.9934 ecosystems. (4) centers gravity types distributed primarily within District, only center production is northern part County. distance materials 2100.44 m, oxygen security 639.15 m. results complementary current research from perspective demand. These findings can thus provide scientific foundational information help decision makers balance region promote construction human-harmonious ecosystem.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Driving Mechanisms of Ecosystem Services in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Urban Agglomeration: Implications for Sustainable Land Use Planning

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 969 - 969

Published: April 30, 2025

The accelerating process of global urbanization has substantially reshaped land use patterns, exerting profound influences on the dynamics ecosystem service provision. Effective and adaptive management necessitates quantitative identification analysis spatiotemporal variations in services their underlying driving mechanisms. Using Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration as a case study, this research examines from 2000 to 2020 projects patterns for 2030 under alternative development scenarios. Building upon foundation, study quantifies evolution four key services—Carbon Storage (CS), Water Yield (WY), Habitat Quality (HQ), Soil Retention (SDR)—from 2030, while elucidating differential impacts mechanisms factors these services. findings indicate that: (1) Between 2020, cultivated remained dominant type (47.71%), followed by forestland (21.44%) grassland (16.23%), whereas built-up expanded significantly 8.12% 12.74%; (2) proportion medium-to-high CS areas reached 47.65%, high-value WY increased 4.9%, low-value HQ 4.28%, SDR accounted 84.44%; (3) PLUS model validation yielded Kappa coefficient 86.1%, indicating high simulation accuracy. Scenario-based predictions suggest that an ecological protection scenario, would increase 0.59%, economic decline 2.57%, with expanding 2.04%; (4) slope (X2) was identified factor influencing (q = 0.22), 0.36–0.42), 0.42), mean annual precipitation (X4) played crucial role determining WY. Furthermore, socioeconomic activities, particularly increasing population density, exhibited growing negative impact CS, highlighting intensifying anthropogenic interventions shaping patterns. This unveils spatial heterogeneity context urbanization, offering valuable insights inform regional conservation sustainable policies.
