As a strategy for building beautiful China, new-type urbanization (NTU) has an impact on the regional ecological security pattern. Clarifying coupling coordination relationship between NTU and ecosystem services (ESs) can help protection high-quality coordinated development. The methods of this paper are as follows. Firstly, integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Tradeoffs (InVEST) model is used to calculate ESs, then evaluate level from multiple dimensions. On basis, degree relative development analyze ESs NTU. results indicate that in Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) decreased, 2000 2020. continues improve, but spatial imbalance more prominent. significantly negatively correlated, with population, economic, land, infrastructural having detrimental effect overall. In general, Es changes intermediate primary coordination, manifestation was "high east low west" dependence strong. Most areas show lagging ES disorders. To achieve orderly breakthrough steady-state phase while adhering law coupled coercive development, well serve guide making decisions create YREB clear skies, lush vegetation, stunning mountains, harmony people land.

Rapid urbanization and population growth have significantly impacted air water quality, exerting adverse effects on both the natural environment human health. While ecosystem health assessment is a crucial aspect of management, smaller-scale implications urban development often been overlooked. This paper addresses this gap by examining relationship between in Qingdao over period 2000–2019. Utilizing Vigor-Organization-Resilience-Service (VORS) model, we evaluated (ESH) while measuring extent through dynamics, economic factors, land size. Our findings indicate declining trend ESH studied period, particularly Chengyang District Huangdao District. Ecosystem vigor experienced most significant decline, dropping from 0.730 to 0.639, followed decrease resilience 0.422 0.394. Concurrently, rate exhibited steady increase, with high levels observed Shinan District, Shibei Licang analysis reveals negative impact health, being predominant factor 2000 2005. Post-2005, expansion construction emerged as major contributing factor.

Urbanisation affects the health and stability of ecosystem significantly. Constructing a scientific ecological security pattern (ESP) is paramount importance for safeguarding ecosystems within region, optimising spaces, ensuring sustainability. To investigate effect urbanisation on ESP, we utilised Vigour–Organisation–Resilience-Services (VORS) model to analyse changes in (EH) identify degraded areas city Chengdu. In this case study.

Ecosystem Service Valuation (ESV) is a process of evaluating and quantifying the monetary values ESs their functions. Using both biophysical spatially explicit integrated models, key Services (ESs) were estimated in Sundarbans Biosphere Region (SBR), India. Quantification was made time series (1982–2017) individual years (1973, 1988, 2003, 2013, 2018, 2025, 2035, 2045) to understand impact climate change land-use dynamics on long-term ecological status region. The then obtained from Net Primary Productivity (NPP) Integrated Trade-offs (InVEST), Cellular Automata Markov Chain Model (CA-Markov). NPP increased significantly during first half period (1982–1999), but declined second (2000–2017). highest ESVs (US$ ha−1) found for habitat service (30780), nutrient cycling (12626), gas regulation (7224.81), whereas, lower approximated water (347.81), raw material production (777.82) waste treatment (13.57) services. Among nine evaluated, regulation, disturbance most important regulating services SBR. combined effects are much stringent vulnerable region like Most closely associated with fluctuation land use cover input. Thus, management policies reform strategies that will encourage conversion productive land, especially highly mangrove forest, development or any other financial benefits, would disturb ideal human-nature balance this ecosystem. outcomes study also provide an reference administrators, researchers, decision-makers comprehend expected social-ecological juxtaposition protected natural reserve Sundarbans.

Accordingly, contradictions regional production, living, ecological spaces intensified. In this context, analysis dynamics production–living–ecological (PLE) become an important entry point for studying use transition its eco-environmental effects, by constructing classification system PLE functions. Using remote sensing data from four periods 1985 to 2018, paper explores spatiotemporal evolution characteristics their effects in Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) urban agglomeration, based GIS InVEST model. The results revealed that living space BTH region expanded rapidly, production gradually shrank, remained relatively stable. quality index within study area shows obvious differences, demonstrating spatial distribution “high northwest low southeast”, overall deteriorating trend past 33 years. Moreover, carbon density decreased southeast, transformations into were major types eco-environment deterioration.
