Abstract This paper aims to reveal the impacts of land use/land cover changes on ecosystem services and guide sustainable development decisions by modelling future pattern its in case Aydın province, Turkey. In this context, study examined predicted patterns with three scenarios (natural development, service-based economy-based development) using PLUS model, determined impact InVEST generated carbon storage habitat quality services. The key drivers change were agricultural expansion, transformation different vegetation types into each other, and, even a small scale, urbanization. revealed that spatial types, together effect changing patterns, have significant quality. While reductions shrubland forests detrimental, transformations from openspaces them, particularly at their boundaries, enhanced capacity On other hand, though based economic value products/services obtained respectively, scenario was characterized more effective management terms maximizing both ecological benefits. highlights significance emerging need for prioritizing considerations urban planning.

Land use/land cover represents the interactive and comprehensive influences between human activities natural conditions, leading to potential conflicts among human-related issues as well stakeholders. This study introduced economic standards for farmers. A hybrid approach (CA-ABM) of cellular automaton (CA) an agent-based model (ABM) was developed effectively deal with social land use synergic examine human–environment interactions projections conversions a humid basin in south China. Natural attributes socioeconomic data were used analyze its drivers change. The major modules CA-ABM are initialization, migration, assets, suitability, land-use change decisions. Empirical estimates factors influencing urban conversion probability captured using parameters based on spatial logistic regression (SLR) model. Simultaneously, multicriteria evaluation (MCE) Markov models obtain empirical affecting ecological conversion. An CA-SLR-MCE-Markov (ABCSMM) proposed explore impacts policies can reproduce observed patterns provide links forest transition expansion decisions ecosystem services. results demonstrated simulations under multi-policy scenarios, revealing usefulness normative research management.

With the acceleration of global urbanization, ecosystem services (ES) and ecological balance nature reserves have been significantly impacted. However, quantitative assessments multiple contributions to urban sustainability are still lacking. This study selects Panjin, a wetland city in China (3788 km2), as area, utilizing InVEST model quantify ES (water yield, carbon storage, soil retention, habitat quality), employing redundancy analysis explore influencing factors. Ecological source areas were identified, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) score was calculated systematically evaluate contribution reserves. The results indicate that from 1990 2010, built-up area Panjin increased by approximately 159%, leading reduction quality 20%, 4%, 14%, respectively. From 2010 2020, restoration policies resulted 63% increase compared 2010. Nature played crucial role maintaining stability, providing over 40% while occupying only 24% city’s contributing more than 30% overall sustainability. is first assess sustainability, management recommendations for policymakers based on innovative environmental indicators methods support sustainable development.

ABSTRACT Carbon storage (CS) influences the balance and stability of carbon cycle in global terrestrial ecosystems. Research on changes CS scenario forecasting is essential for developing sustainable socioeconomic policies. To more accurately predict small watersheds cold regions, this study takes Ashi River watershed (ARW) as a case to explore “past–present–future” CS. We quantify dominant factors affecting further focus prediction under four SSP–RCP scenarios considering from new perspective by coupling Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Tradeoffs (InVEST) Patch‐generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS) models, which important implementing dual policy regions.
