Environmental deterioration in rapid urbanisation: evidence from assessment of ecosystem service value in Wujiang, Suzhou

Li Yu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of land use change on the environment and quality of life in Wujiang district, Suzhou. The research shows that urban land conversion without considering environmental limits and capacity can result in significant environmental costs, leading to a decline in residents' quality of life.

Trade-off analyses and optimization of water-related ecosystem services (WRESs) based on land use change in a typical agricultural watershed, southern China

Jie Liang et al.

Summary: Land use change has a significant impact on ecosystem services (ESs), particularly on water-related ecosystem services (WRESs). A study in the Xiangjiang River Basin revealed that past land use change has greatly altered the relationship between water purification and other WRESs. The research provides insights into the importance of evaluating the effects of land use change on ecosystem services for better land management in the future.

Impact of landscape pattern change on water-related ecosystem services: Comprehensive analysis based on heterogeneity perspective

Junhan Li et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the impact of landscape heterogeneity on water-related ecosystem services by exploring the relative importance of landscape structure composition and spatial configuration changes. The results showed that landscape pattern changes significantly affected water production, soil conservation, nitrogen export, and phosphorus export, with noticeable interannual and spatial differences.

Integrating ecosystem services modeling into effectiveness assessment of national protected areas in a typical arid region in China

Suxiao Li et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the supply of six ecosystem services (ESs) by landscapes in Xinjiang, China, revealing spatial heterogeneity and coverage differences in ES hotspots. Over 50% of ES hotspots were located within Protected Areas (PAs), indicating moderate outcomes in preserving ESs and biodiversity, yet conservation gaps exist. Substantial differences were found in ES supply by different PAs, highlighting the need for a shift towards broader goals encompassing multiple ESs for human well-being.

Exploring the complex relationships and drivers of ecosystem services across different geomorphological types in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, China (2000-2018)

Huan Wang et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to identify the complex relationships and dominant drivers of key ecosystem services. The results demonstrate the importance of spatial heterogeneity in determining the interactions among soil erosion, water yield, and net primary production. Understanding these mechanisms can provide valuable insights for managing ecosystem services effectively.

Why is it crucial to evaluate the fairness of natural capital consumption in urban agglomerations in terms of ecosystem services and economic contribution?

Yi Yang et al.

Summary: This study focused on the unfair consumption of natural capital in urban agglomerations, using the Gini coefficient to evaluate the fairness. The results showed that the ecological deficit in the Guanzhong Plain Urban Agglomeration is worsening, with the unfairness of natural capital consumption increasing over time. The evaluation based on ecosystem services reflects the fairness of natural capital consumption among cities more objectively.

Mapping water ecosystem services: Evaluating InVEST model predictions in data scarce regions

F. Benra et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of the SWYM model in predicting water yield in 224 catchments in southern Chile, showing relatively low monthly correlations but good match between annual estimates and observed values, particularly in regions with high rainfall and in dry years. Predictions varied across regions and years, with improvements in SWYM performance observed.

An extended time series (2000-2018) of global NPP-VIIRS-like nighttime light data from a cross-sensor calibration

Zuoqi Chen et al.

Summary: This study established an extended time series of NPP-VIIRS-like nighttime light data for the period 2000-2018 through a unique sensor calibration method, providing a valuable tool for analyzing long-term urbanization processes with good spatial patterns and temporal consistency. The resulting product showed high accuracy and consistency compared to existing datasets, demonstrating its potential for monitoring demographic and socioeconomic activities over an extended period of time.
