Research on the spatial–temporal pattern of supply and demand associated with ecosystem services(ESs) is great significance for regional sustainable development. Due to their high spatial heterogeneity, relationship between ESs in mountainous areas particular needs be further studied. This paper examines Taihang Mountains from 2000 2018 at both whole-region county scale evaluate supply–demand patterns, nature resilience relationship, analyze spatiotemporal variation characteristics, which can provide a basis coordination management ecosystem. Our results showed that during study period: (1)the services supply(ESS) increased by 2.36% demand(ESD) 50.93%,the increase rate ESS was far less than ESD scale, 20% counties decreased whereas all increased.(2)the remained basically unchanged,the types are mainly low supply-high demand, supply-low accounting for>90% total number.(3)the average index altitude more five times counties.The economic growth twice rate.(4)67% reduced level services(TES), provisioning services(PS) most significantly, reaching 76%.

Simulation study on water yield service flow based on the InVEST-Geoda-Gephi network: A case study on Wuyi Mountains, China

Ecological Indicators, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 159, P. 111694 - 111694

Published: Feb. 1, 2024

In an era marked by escalating demand for water resources and expanding human encroachment, numerous regions worldwide find it very challenging to balance supply demand. As a key source of yield services, ecosystems often fail spatially satisfy the great in some areas. This study focuses on role services social systems then maps flow between them. It quantifies their intricate relationship employing concept ecosystem service flow. A notable gap exists methodologies that intuitively illustrates 'supply-movement-demand' dynamics this context. Consequently, introduces comprehensive methodology integrating multiple models such as 'InVEST-Geoda-Gephi' investigate transmission paths characteristics surplus deficit distribution across various scales. Firstly, spatiotemporal evolution within is analyzed. Secondly, we scrutinize regional alignment spatial patterns utilizing Geoda model. Subsequently, Gephi network model simulates from systems. The findings corroborate model's effectiveness visual capabilities representing diverse primary conclusions drawn are follows: (a) around Wuyi Mountains exhibited pattern characterized 'high center, low edges' 2000 2020, revealing significant heterogeneity high-supply high-demand areas; (b) Influenced mountainous region's supply, area was mainly high-low mismatch. High-high match distributed provincial capitals selected coastal economic zones. contrast, low-low transitioned northwest southwest, low–high mismatch encircled areas featuring both high demand, particularly adjacent undeveloped regions; (c) With advance urbanization development, nodes tended be marginalized, which reduced density connectivity leading decline ability provide weakening its due external interference. research provides strategic guidance rationally allocating promoting ecological protection collaborative development.

Current hydroclimatic spaces will be breached in half of the world’s humid high-elevation tropical ecosystems

Communications Earth & Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 6(1)

Published: March 12, 2025

Abstract Humid high-elevation tropical ecosystems (HETEs), known as páramos, jalca, or moorlands, are essential for biodiversity conservation and water supply. Yet, a key question remains of how future climate change will affect their hydroclimatic spaces: the multidimensional conditions in which they currently thrive. We use CMIP6-downscaled data to assess potential breaching these spaces concerning long-term means, extremes, seasonality temperature precipitation. Our results show that HETEs Northern South America experience largest increase decrease precipitation, leading current space by up 100%. In Afrotropics Australasia, related means extremes. findings provide relevant information on vulnerability change, offering insights inform integration adaptation measures into policy development management strategies conserving services.

Abstract Ecosystem services (ES) are growing fields of research. It helps to provide an inherent way understand the synergy and trade-offs between human beings their natural environment. Regulatory ecosystem (RES) significantly important maintaining world in which people can live, control negative effects flood, disasters, diseases. also regulatory like protection, safety, provision other ES. However, emerging ES decision-making agendas focus on that is tangible has a direct link with well-being. Thus, attention given RES low due its less benefits complexity measure benefits. Disregarding lack from policymakers scientific community may lead unintended risks well-being significant influences This study describes research trends RES, knowledge generated, major limitation. We concluded though there exponential growth publications ES, no adequate studies were found RES. Also, existed varied size types indicators covered, habitats/ecosystems, geographic extent addressed. There was connecting generated national policy resource management, inconsistency classification, methodological diversity. Therefore, communities promoted health. Besides, researcher should give priority for least studied ecosystems services, developing robust methodology, proposing management options enhance ecosystems.

Abstract Human–wildlife conflicts have intensified by many folds and at different levels in recent years. The same is true the case of Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), roof world, a region known for its wealth biodiversity. We present systematic literature review (SLR) using search, appraisal, synthesis, analysis (SALSA) framework; spatial network analysis, we employed VOSviewer software. review—covering 240 peer—articles within span 27 years (from 1982 to 2019)—revealed that last decade, there was 57% increase publications but with disproportionate geographical thematic focus. About 82% research concentrated on protected areas large carnivores mega herbivores played big role such conflicts. 53% studies were based questionnaires, main driver reported habitat disturbance animals due land‐cover change, urbanization, human population. On management front, use traditional protection techniques like guarding fencing. Our 681 keywords revealed prominent focus ‘human‐wildlife conflict,’ ‘Nepal,’ ‘Bhutan,’ ‘Snow Leopard,’ ‘Leopard’ indicating issue linked these species countries. involvement 640 authors from 36 countries indicates increasing interest, Nepal India are playing key roles region. As conducted, while it showed regional variations, conspicuous limitations terms having transboundary Thus, particular attention ought be paid building partnerships improving interventions; also pressing need understand patterns human–wildlife convergence, especially involving meso‐mammals.

Due to global warming, the highlands of tropics have become more important for planting fruit trees. The climate at high altitudes is mainly characterized by decreased temperatures and increased solar radiation. A systematic literature review using four bibliographic databases revealed 22 studies that determined quality two altitudes. With increasing altitude, duration development was prolonged, and, in most cases, higher fresh weights sizes were found; however, firmness decreased. intensity color because greater radiation areas. Mostly, total soluble solids fleshy fruits augmented with probably an increase photosynthesis acidity did not show a clear trend elevations. At altitudes, content antioxidants (mainly phenolics) fruits, especially epidermis as reaction ultraviolet (UV) light. Physiological disorders included sunburn damage caused low temperatures. Different species varieties react differently conditions highlands, depending on their origin whether climatic are optimal specific tree. There no positive effects when altitude limit or above recommended range species.

As such, mountain environments worldwide particularly sensitive to the effects of anthropogenic climate change (global warming) as a result their unique heat balance properties presence climatically-sensitive snow, ice, permafrost ecosystems. Consequently, systems-in particular cryospheric ones-are currently undergoing unprecedented changes Anthropocene. This study identifies discusses four major mountains upon which can impact, indeed is already doing so. These are: changing cryosphere glaciers permafrost; hazards risk; services; communities infrastructure.
