“…To make our study more comprehensive, we employ an econometric model to analyze the quantitative impact of HQU on ecosystem service value. Our findings are consistent with the results observed in the existing literature (Sharma et al, 2020; Yang et al, 2023), suggesting that urbanization has a negative impact on ecosystem service value. It is positive to note that regression analysis based on panel data can not only determine the direction and magnitude of the quantitative impact of HQU on ecosystem service value, but can also identify other influencing factors.…”

An extensive and profound investigation into the dynamic interactions between High‐Quality Urbanization (HQU) and Ecosystem Service Value are of utmost importance for the coordinated development of the region. Diverging from traditional macro‐level analysis, this study is grounded on county‐scale data, measuring HQU and ecosystem service value from a multidimensional perspective. On the basis of the research framework of “phenomena‐relationships‐mechanisms”, we expect to delve deeper into the spatio‐temporal evolutionary characteristics of ecosystem service value and HQU and their integrated interactions. Additionally, we utilize econometric models to rigorously evaluate the impact of HQU on ecosystem service value, with the goal of filling the current research gaps. The research results are as follows: (1) From 2000 to 2020, the ecosystem service value in Shandong Province exhibit an overall decreasing and then increasing trend, and shows a spatial posture of high east and low west. HQU generally maintains a steady upward trend, and its spatio‐temporal evolution has apparent heterogeneity. (2) The Coupled Coordination Degree (CCD) between HQU and ecosystem service value has a gradual rising trend, and there is an increasing level of consistency between them. (3) HQU has a negative effect on ecosystem service value, and the direction and degree of the effect on segmented ecosystem service value types vary greatly. (4) The effect of HQU on ecosystem service value is heterogenous, and the attenuating effect is mainly found in grain‐producing counties, inland counties, and counties with a lower index of high‐quality urbanization. In conclusion, our results are expected to provide targeted recommendations for sustainable development and ecological balance in Shandong Province.

“…Pan et al (2023) investigated the possible nonlinear relationship between the ESVs and city economic growth, they used nonparametric kernel regression to fit a nonlinear relationship between the ESVs and economic development so as to discuss the ecological Kuznets curve in China. Some scholars have shown that there is a negative relationship (Sharma et al, 2020) and a positive relationship (Lyu et al, 2018) between urbanization and ecosystem services. Sharma et al (2020) found that the urbanization of New Delhi, India had led to the degradation of forest coverage, which has resulted in the loss of urban ecosystem services value of 2.7 million dollars.…”

The rapid expansion of urban areas and intense human activities have exerted serious impacts on the structure and service functions of ecosystems. A clear understanding of the interaction between urbanization (UI) and ecosystem service (ES) is of great significance for formulating regulations of future urban development and environment protection. In this study, we analyzed the impacts of urbanization on ecosystem services from 2000 to 2020 in the Henan-Hubei-Hunan (HBN) urban in China. The results show that the urbanization process in the HNB evolves from a rapidly growing state to a steady state with a slower rise. The ESV in HBN increased from 2.75 trillion yuan in 2000 to 5.07 trillion yuan in 2020. There is an inverted U-shaped curve relationship between UI and ESV, the ESV sharply decrease when the urbanization index exceeded 0.5. Land urbanization and social urbanization has the greatest impact on ESV. There was an spatial heterogeneity in the hotspots of ecosystem services. The hot spots of ecosystem products services are distributed in the northeast of the study area, while regulation services and cultural services are distributed in the southwest of HBN. The results can provide insights for enhancing urban sustainability in the HBN region, as well other urban megaregion with similar characteristics throughout the world.

“…Urban agglomerations in China face serious problems caused by the imbalance between urbanization and ecosystem interaction processes [3,4], which is directly manifested by the dramatic changes in land use patterns, resulting in the degradation of ecosystems and their service functions, significantly altering the health and integrity of natural ecosystems. In the face of the current situation, countries around the world are paying more and more attention to the far-reaching effects of land use changes caused by rapid urbanization on global ecosystems [5,6], it is important to assess the ecological effects of land use changes from the perspective of ecosystem health [7][8][9] to coordinate the relationship between economic development and ecological conservation in urban agglomerations areas.…”

Land use change in urban agglomerations is gradually becoming a major cause and a key factor of global environmental change. As a consequence of the interaction between land use and ecological processes, the transformation in natural ecosystem structure and function with human activity disturbances demands a systematic assessment of ecosystem health. Taking the Central Yunnan urban agglomeration, undergoing transition and development, as an example, the current study reveals the typical land use change processes and then emphasizes the importance of spatial heterogeneity of ecosystem services in health assessment. The InVEST model-based ecosystem service assessment is incorporated into the ecosystem health evaluation, and hotspot analysis is performed to quantitatively measure the ecosystem health response degree to land use according to spatial latitude. The study had three major findings: First, the urban land expansion in the urban agglomeration of central Yunnan between 1990 and 2020 is the most significant. Further, the rate of the dynamic change of urban land is 16.86%, which is the highest among all land types. Second, the ecosystem health of the central Yunnan urban agglomeration is improving but with obvious spatial differences, showing a trend of increasing from urban areas to surrounding areas, with the lowest ecosystem health level and significant clustering in the areas where the towns are located. The ecosystem health level is mainly dominated by the two classes of ordinary and well grades, and the sum of the two accounts for 63.35% of the total area. Third, the process of land transfer, mutual transfer between forest and grassland, and conversion from cropland to forest land contributed the most to the improvement of ecosystem health across the study area. Furthermore, the conversion from cropland and grassland to urban land is an important cause of the sustained exacerbation of ecosystem health. Significantly, the study provides a scientific reference for maintaining ecosystem health and formulating policies for macro-control of land in the urban agglomerations of the mountain plateau.
