Distinguishing the relative contributions of climate and land use/cover changes to ecosystem services from a geospatial perspective

Shuai Ma et al.

Summary: Understanding the impacts of land use/cover and climate change on ecosystem services is crucial for human well-being. However, existing studies have rarely determined the relative contributions of these factors from a geospatial perspective, and the effects of different land use conversions on ecosystem services remain unclear. This study established a framework to distinguish the spatial contributions of climate and land use change to water yield, net primary productivity, and soil retention, and applied it to Zhejiang Province. The results showed an increasing trend in all ecosystem services from 2000 to 2020. Water yield and soil retention changes were mainly influenced by climate change, while net primary productivity changes were dominated by land use changes. Furthermore, the study quantified the impacts of urbanization, deforestation, and afforestation on ecosystem services in their respective regions, and proposed five suggestions for improving ecosystem services management.

Spatiotemporal changes in ecosystem services in the conservation priorities of the southern hill and mountain belt, China

Shuai Ma et al.

Summary: By balancing ecosystem services, conservation priorities for water yield, soil conservation, habitat quality, carbon storage, and ecological recreation were identified, with their conservation efficiencies consistently greater than 1 from 2000 to 2015. The implementation of conservation programs and increased rainfall have improved ecosystem services, highlighting the significance for regional ecological and environmental protection.

Uncovering the relationships between ecosystem services and social- ecological drivers at different spatial scales in the Beijing-Tianjin- Hebei region

Jiashu Shen et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the spatial patterns and relationships of six ecosystem service supplies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in 2015, revealing differences in spatial pattern robustness across scales, antagonistic relationships between provisioning service and other ecosystem services, and predominantly synergistic relationships between regulating services and cultural service. The impacts of social-ecological drivers varied in direction and magnitude across ecosystem services at different scales, with the normalized difference vegetation index identified as the most influential driver.

Spatio-temporal changes in habitat quality and linkage with landscape characteristics in the Beressa watershed, Blue Nile basin of Ethiopian highlands

Hamere Yohannes et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the spatio-temporal changes in habitat quality over the past four decades and predicted trends for the next three decades, finding a decrease in areas with high habitat quality indicators and an increase in areas with poor habitat quality. Anthropogenic land use/land cover expansion was identified as a major contributor to the decline in habitat quality. The study also highlighted the importance of reducing habitat modifications and restoring degraded natural habitats to maintain biodiversity in the area.

Fengqi Cui et al.

Summary: This study conducted comprehensive simulation experiments on ecosystem services (ESs) changes in the forest-steppe ecotone, finding that different types of land-use changes and climate change have varying impacts on ESs, with water yield being most affected by temperature, precipitation, radiation, and wind speed.

Factors influencing ecosystem services in the Pearl River Delta, China: Spatiotemporal differentiation and varying importance

Shaojian Wang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the varying importance and spatiotemporal differentiation of factors influencing ecosystem services in China's Pearl River Delta from 2000 to 2015 using the random forest model and a geographically and temporally weighted regression model. The results showed an increase in the importance of human factors, a decrease in natural factors, and significant spatiotemporal differentiation in the influencing factors. These findings can guide decision makers in ecological management and policy making.

Identifying the regional disparities of ecosystem services from a supply-demand perspective

Huajun Yu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the dynamics of ecosystem services from both supply and demand perspectives, using the Yangtze River Delta as an example. The results showed an increase in services like water yield, carbon fixation, and food provision, while soil conservation decreased. Carbon fixation services were lacking in most cities in 2018, and about one-third of municipalities needed more water yield and food provision.
