An ecological restoration assessment aims to evaluate whether projects (ERPs) have achieved predefined objectives, such as improving fractional vegetation cover (FVC) and enhancing ecosystem services (ESs), well optimize strategies based on outcomes. Despite recent advancements, current studies still fall short of fully capturing the trade-offs among ESs identifying underlying drivers different trends. To address these challenges, we applied Theil–Sen method delineate change zones in Qilian Mountain National Park (QLMNP) between 2000 2020, employed bivariate Moran’s I statistics analyze synergies four within zones, including carbon sequestration (CS), soil conservation (SC), water (WC), biodiversity maintenance (BIO), utilized a spatial random forest (SRF) model explore main socio-ecological driving factors trends their distribution. Our results revealed significant recovery QLMNP particularly regions with initially low FVC. Positive CS, SC, BIO highlighted success efforts, primarily driven by land conversion forests increased precipitation. However, 8.82% exhibited stagnation or degradation due rising temperatures overgrazing, leading declines SC BIO. Notably, introduced ESs, especially high FVC areas, where strong trade-off emerged WC. These findings highlight need for refining balance resource allocation. Finally, integrated trends, ES relationships, propose grid-based zonal governance plans QLMNP, prioritizing WC enhancement critical components future planning. This study serves foundation optimizing maintaining while offering actionable insights fine-grained evaluation sustainable development planning other regions.

The ecosystem service value (ESV) is an important basis for measuring ecological environment’s quality and the efficient management of ecosystems. It particularly necessary to explore a proven methodology assessing predicting ESV dynamics coupled with policy-oriented scenarios that can provide theoretical groundwork macro decision, in context implementing protection restoration projects. This study selected land cover (LC) Sichuan Province at five periods spatiotemporal dynamic equivalent factor method assess ESVs from 2000 2020. Additionally, Markov chain GeoSOS-FLUS model, predicted future pattern under four development scenarios. results show (a) areas forests, shrubs, waters, wastelands, wetlands, impervious showed continuous increase 2020, most frequent interchanges occurring among croplands, grasslands.

Urbanization is a key factor that threatens the stability of ecosystem services (ESs), which are crucial for maintaining ecological security and enhancing human quality life. Gaining insight into spatiotemporal differentiation service value (ESV) its coupling relationship with urbanization issue in promoting sustainable regional development. We employed various algorithms, including improved equivalence method, random forest model, mixed geographically temporally weighted regression coordination degree (CCD) to reveal evolution ESV driving mechanisms Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration (LXUA) from 1980 2020. In addition, we explored between combined index (CUI). The results showed following: (1) From 2020, interannual variation first decreased then increased, an increase 230 million yuan/annum 2020 compared 1980. Spatially, exhibits distribution pattern high south low north, west east. (2) Land use intensity (LUI) elevation contributed values exceeding 20% were most important drivers ESV. (3) average CCD CUI transitioned being severely unbalanced (0.19) slightly balanced (0.42). There was negative spatial correlation CUI, each cluster type distributed discretely space.
