Incorporating circuit theory, complex networks, and carbon offsets into the multi-objective optimization of ecological networks: A case study on karst regions in China

Kexin Huang et al.

Summary: Ecological networks (ENs) play a crucial role in maintaining regional ecological security and enhancing ecosystem services. This study proposes a research framework, the ecological barrier-topological feature-carbon offset-based (BTC-based) model, to analyze and optimize ENs by considering spatial topological relationships and carbon neutrality. The results demonstrate the coexistence of ecological improvement and degradation, calling for measures to optimize ENs and propose restoration strategies for ecological corridors.

Spatial-temporal heterogeneity of ecosystem service interactions and their social-ecological drivers: Implications for spatial planning and management

Hao Xia et al.

Summary: This study mapped the supply of six ecosystem services (ESs), identified their trade-offs/synergies and bundles, and determined the dominant social-ecological drivers. The findings provided sustainable spatial planning and management strategies at both grid and sub-watershed scales. The results showed spatial heterogeneity in the patterns of ESs, with varying changes in food production and water supply. The study also identified ES pairs with declined synergies and suggested integrating knowledge on ES interactions into spatial planning for sustainable ecosystem management across scales.

The role of land use change in affecting ecosystem services and the ecological security pattern of the Hexi Regions, Northwest China

Yongge Li et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of land use and land cover change (LUCC) on ecosystem services and ecological security in the Hexi Regions. The results demonstrate that LUCC plays a significant role in shaping the spatiotemporal patterns of ecosystem services and ecological security. Among different LUCC scenarios, ecological protection leads to the greatest increase in ecosystem services, while urban development and natural growth result in the expansion of construction land and cropland. The study also highlights the importance of ecological protection in shaping LUCC and enhancing ecosystem integrity and ecological security.

Spatial conservation prioritization for locating protected area gaps in Iran

Azadeh Karimi et al.

Summary: In order to achieve Iran's goal of increasing the protected area coverage from 11% to 20%, we used a systematic conservation planning approach to identify areas that complement existing protected areas. Through the use of distribution maps and four different methods of weighting species and locations, we found that certain regions in Iran consistently ranked as important for conservation. Protecting 20% of the country's land area, as constrained by existing protected areas, would effectively conserve biodiversity in the majority of their distribution.

Summary: The National Ecological Barrier Zones are crucial for China's ecological security strategy. Constructing a scientifically and reasonably ecological security pattern (ESP) is vital for the healthy development of national ecological barrier zones. This study focused on a specific area, the Sichuan-Yunnan ecological barrier, and utilized ecosystem health analysis, land growth change probability, circuit theory, and ecosystem service trade-offs to establish a sustainable ESP.

Risk assessment of soil erosion in Central Asia under global warming

Xin Dou et al.

Summary: Soil erosion poses a threat to the ecological environment and human health in Central Asia. This study simulated the spatiotemporal variation of wind and water erosion using climate model data and assessed the future risk to population exposure. The results showed that while overall wind erosion is decreasing, there is an increase in areas with wind erosion. Water erosion, on the other hand, is increasing, particularly in the central arid desert shrub areas. Higher wind speed and precipitation are the main factors contributing to erosion. This study provides important scientific basis for the formulation of ecological development plans in Central Asia towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Summary: Constructing ecological security patterns (ESPs) is crucial for regional sustainability, and this study improves the current methodological framework by integrating ecosystem service trade-offs, typical characteristics of karst areas, and circuit theory in the Daning river basin. The results show significant variations in the spatial patterns of six ecosystem services. The proposed method demonstrates flexibility and feasibility and enhances the robustness and sustainability of ESPs in karst areas.

Optimization of ecological security patterns considering both natural and social disturbances in China's largest urban agglomeration

Long Li et al.

Summary: Previous studies on ecological security patterns (ESPs) have not adequately considered both natural and social disturbances, resulting in inaccurate identification of conservation priority areas. This study developed a novel framework of importance-connectivity-disturbance to address this gap and identified ESPs in the Pearl River Delta. The results provide valuable insights for ecological protection and regional development planning in urban agglomerations.

The effect of mining and road development on habitat fragmentation and connectivity of khulan (Equus hemionus) in Northwestern China

Yingying Zhuo et al.

Summary: Habitat use by wild animals is influenced by spatial and temporal changes. In the Kalamaili Mountain Ungulate Nature Reserve (KNR) in northwestern China, the Chinese khulan is one of the most important desert ungulates, with over 80% of the population residing there. However, mining development and road construction have disrupted the movement and access of khulan within the reserve. The study found that the core habitat and ecological corridors of khulan were mainly concentrated in the middle of the reserve and on the east side of the road.
