“…Recreational opportunity supply and sand fixation had greater differences from the other three ESs in the related ecological process and estimation method, while they only had similarities in their driving mechanisms to a certain extent, with the common influencing factors of land use pattern and NDVI. The lack of intrinsic correlation and low similarity of the external driving mechanisms finally result in a weak correlation between the former two ESs and the other three ESs on the supply side, which is consistent with the findings in relevant studies (Obiang Ndong et al, 2020;Lyu et al, 2021). The same situation occurs at the match and demand sides.…”

The imbalance between the supply and demand of ecosystem services (ESs) is one of the main reasons for ecological degradation, which significantly impacts human well-being and ecological safety. Spatial heterogeneity of ES supply–demand, ES tradeoffs, and the socioecological environment calls for zoning management, while few studies have combined the above three aspects in dividing management zones and proposed strategies. Using the City Belt along the Yellow River in Ningxia in northwestern China as a case study, this study quantified the supply and demand for five key ESs (crop production, carbon sequestration, nutrient retention, sand fixation, and recreational opportunity), analyzed ES tradeoffs/synergies and bundles through correlation analysis and the self-organizing map (SOM) method, and investigated their socioecological driving mechanisms through a random forest model and the SOM method. Management zones were proposed and differentiated suggestions were provided through overlaying ES bundles and driver clusters. The results suggested that crop production, carbon sequestration, and nutrient retention mostly correlated to the same intrinsic ecological process, resulting in consistent synergies among these three ESs at both supply and demand sides. On the contrary, the variance in interactions between the two ESs of sand fixation and recreational opportunity and the other three ESs is due to the low similarity of their intrinsic ecological processes and external driving mechanisms. Fourteen socioecological factors could effectively explain the spatial heterogeneity of ES supply, demand, and match degree. Fourteen management zones with similar ecological problems and socioecological environments were delineated, and differentiated suggestions were provided for each zone. Adopting both ES characteristics and the socioecological environment into zoning management could effectively detect ecological problems and help to promote management suggestions in different socioecological contexts. This framework could offer new insights for integrating ESs into actual decision-making and ecosystem management.

“…In terms of direct methods, the land use data and processbased models were combined for measurement (Chen et al 2019). Among indirect methods, the correlation analysis was often used to analyze the relationships between ESs (Xie et al 2018;Lyu et al 2021). Considering the availability of data and the simplicity of the ( 14) SF j = sf jp − sf ja (15) VQI j = T j + W j + V j + U j + L j method, we refer to Xie et al (2018) and adopt the correlation analysis method to analyze the relationships of ESs during urban expansion.…”

Context Effectively estimating the influences of urban expansion on multiple ecosystem services (ESs) is of great importance for improving urban planning in drylands. However, there are some shortcomings in the existing urban expansion models, which lead to great uncertainties in the assessment of the influences of urban expansion on multiple ESs. Objectives This study sought to effectively estimate the influences of urban expansion on multiple ESs in drylands. Methods We combined the land use scenario dynamics-urban model and ES models to estimate the influences of urban expansion on habitat quality, food production, water retention, air quality regulation, sand fixation, and aesthetics. Results The results showed that (1) our method can effectively evaluate the influences of urban expansion on multiple ESs in drylands, and the accuracy increased by more than 20% on average. (2) Under the impacts of future urban expansion, the annual average loss per unit area of habitat quality, food production, water retention, air quality regulation, sand fixation, and aesthetics will increase. (3) Future urban expansion will occupy more cropland and grassland, which will be the main reason for the intensified degradation of multiple ESs. Conclusions We suggest that the local government should focus on protecting key ecosystems, especially grasslands, from urban expansion to mitigate the potential influences on multiple ESs in drylands.

“…Ecosystem services are life-supporting products and services obtained directly or indirectly through the structure, processes and functions of ecosystems, and their valuation is an important basis and foundation for ecological environmental protection [10], ecological functional zoning [11], environmental economic accounting and ecological compensation decisions [12]. Scholars at home and abroad have carried out a lot of research work on methods for assessing the value of ecosystem services [13], At present, accounting for the value of ecosystem services can be broadly divided into two categories, namely methods based on the price per unit of service function and methods based on the value equivalent factor per unit area [14].…”

Rare earth resources are important national strategic resources, and the mining process will change the original land use types, and it will have a certain impact on the ecosystem service values around the rare earth mining areas. To study the impact of land use changes on ecosystem service functions in rare earth mining areas, firstly, the land use change trends in the study area from 2009 to 2019 were analyzed using the land transfer matrix; then the distribution of ecosystem service values and the flow direction of ecosystem service values in the study area were measured based on the ecosystem service value equivalents; a spatial autocorrelation analysis was done on the ecosystem service values to explore their spatial distribution patterns; and finally, the cross-sensitivity coefficient was used to quantitatively assess the impact of land use changes on ecosystem service, the cross-sensitivity coefficient was used to quantitatively assess the extent and direction of the impact of land use change on ecosystem service values. The results show that the land use types in the study area are mainly forest land and farmland, with woodland accounting for the highest proportion of the study area. The ESV changes in the study area are consistent with the trend of land use transformation, with the overall increase and decrease being comparable, and the decrease in ESV is mainly concentrated in the areas with a large increase in mining land and construction land; during the study period, the study area was significantly reduced with low - low aggregation areas and the ecological environment was improved; from 2009 to 2011, the ecological sensitivity coefficient is more variable, and is more sensitive to the net conversion between water and desert, from 2014 to 2019, the ecological sensitivity coefficient is less variable, and the most sensitive is the net conversion between cultivated land and water. The study area should be reasonably developed for rare earth resources and the ecological environment around the mining area should be reasonably protected to build an ecological security pattern.
