Abstract
En 中文
Clarifying the spatial distribution and evolutionary characteristics of ecosystem services (ESs) across multiple scales is crucial for maintaining ecological stability and sustainability. This study assessed the spatiotemporal changes of ESs in the Shanxi section of the Yellow River Basin (SYRB) from 2005 to 2020 using the InVEST model. We analyzed the multi-ecosystem service landscape index and their driving factors; explored the trade-offs and synergy at the county and 1-km scale; and formulated differentiated ecological management strategies based on local ecological characteristics. The findings demonstrated that (1) land use change was the dominant driver influencing ESs (2) carbon storage (CS) and habitat quality (HQ) showed a stronger synergistic relationship at both the county and 1-km scales; and (3) ecosystem service bundles were divided into four types: CS–HQ synergistic bundle; low synergistic bundle; key synergistic bundle; and integrated ecological bundle at the 1-km scale; while CS–HQ synergistic bundle; key synergistic bundle; water purification–water yield–soil conservation synergistic bundle; and integrated ecological bundle revealed at the county scale. From 2005 to 2020; an increasing number of regions transitioned from single ES to synergistic ESs. This study reveals the spatial mechanisms of trade-offs and synergies among ESs in SYRB; and constructs an effective partitioning scheme and targeted ecological management strategy for SYRB; which are of great significance for regional ecological conservation and sustainable development.
