ABSTRACT Impairment of cultivated ecosystem functions (CEFs) is a form land degradation. However, the mechanisms driving functional transition ecosystems (FTCE) and interaction between regional differential behavior FTCE remain unclear. To address this gap, we aimed to develop theoretical framework comprehensive analytical method, which combines single‐factor simulation multi‐factor regression, based on theory agricultural‐induced production substitution from perspective use (CLU). The takes into account socioeconomic elements, representing an advancement over extant studies that focus natural ecological factors. findings show high value CEFs in China moves southwest northeast central Yangtze River Delta regions 1990 2021. occurs at both national provincial scales with U‐shaped trend rapid consumption recovery growth.
