“…For the key urbanization region, the demand capacity of ESs was strong, but the supply capacity of ESs was weak. Therefore, the deficit of ESs in the key urbanization region needs to be balanced in regard to the whole HREEB region or a larger region [ 39 ]. The boundary restrictions of administrative regions need to be broken, and collaborative governance of ecosystems among regions needs to be achieved [ 33 ].…”

“…Therefore, this study will use the ESs matrix method to measure the ESs supply, demand, and balance. Although existing literature has emphasized assessments of ES S&D, these studies did not sufficiently explore the spatial dependence of ES balance and its response to urbanization [ 28 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. In addition, previous studies have been conducted on macro scales, such as the national scale, provincial scale, and prefecture-level city scale [ 21 , 30 , 35 , 40 ]; there is a lack of studies on the S&D of ESs on the multiple scales.…”

“…It is necessary to study the impact of urbanization on the ESs balance [ 49 ]. Previous studies focused on describing the characteristics of ESs supply changes caused by land use change in the process of urbanization but neglected to consider the impact of urbanization on the socioecological system as a whole [ 39 , 40 ]. To fill the gap by not only exploring the spatiotemporal pattern of ESs balance and urbanization, but also the relationships between three main urbanization factors, population density, GDP density, and construction land proportion, and ESBI is essential.…”

Urbanization intensification seriously interferes with the supply capacity and demand level of ecosystem services (ESs); therefore, it affects the balance state of ESs. Coordination of urbanization development and ecosystem protection in the ecological economic belt is vital for ecological protection and high-quality development of the ecological economic belt. However, previous studies lacked multi-scale analysis of the impact of urbanization elements on the ESs balance index (ESBI) in the ecological economic belt. In this study, a geographically weighted regression model was employed to measure the spatial non-stationary patterns associated with the impact of urbanization elements on the ESBI at 5 km and 10 km in the Han River Ecological Economic Belt (HREEB) in China based on land use data. The main findings were shown as follows. The supply capacity and demand level of ESs in the HREEB increased from 2000 to 2020 simultaneously, while the ESBI showed a decreasing trend. In mountainous areas, the ESBIs were evidently higher than those in the plain areas. During the study period, the urbanization level in the HREEB improved evidently, and the urbanization levels of the middle and lower reaches of the Hanjiang River were relatively high. Significant spatial dependence between urbanization elements and the ESBI was identified. Urbanization had significant positive and negative impacts on ESBI, and there were significant differences among different scales. The findings of this study can act as a decision-making reference for ecological protection and high-quality development of the HREEB and can also provide a perspective for exploring the impact of urbanization on the ESBI of the ecological economic belt in other similar regions.

“…Population density data was derived from WorldPOP ( , accessed on 27 November 2021); GDP density data was derived from the inversion of the regression relationship between GDP and land use and night lighting data for each city in YRD. Related calculation process can be found in Methods S1 [ 31 ]; the proportion of urban built-up area was counted using the regional statistics function in ArcGIS10.8. Land use data were obtained from the Resource and Environment Science Data Centre of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ( , accessed on 20 November 2021); urban land use data were obtained based on the Globeland30 land use dataset extracted from man-made surface types.…”

“…Carbon emissions from secondary and tertiary industries were inferred by constructing a regression model between nighttime lighting and carbon emissions within urban, rural, industrial, mining and residential land use types. The total carbon emissions of each industry were determined according to the proportion of total energy consumption of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in YRD [ 31 ].…”

Rapid urbanization in mega-urban agglomerations disturbs the balance of carbon storage supply and demand (CSD) and constrains the achievement of sustainable development goals. Here, we developed a socio-ecological system (SES) framework coupled with ecosystem services (ES) cascade and DPSIR model to systematically analyze the impacts and responses of urbanization affecting CSD. We quantified urbanization and CSD using multi-source remote sensing data, such as land use and night lighting, together with related socio-economic data, such as total energy consumption, population and GDP. We found that from 2000 to 2020, the urbanization of Yangtze River Delta region (YRD) led to a decrease of 2.75% in carbon storage supply and an increase of 226.45% in carbon storage demand. However, carbon storage supply was still larger than carbon storage demand, and the spatial mismatch of CSD is the most important problem at present. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the response measures from the comprehensive perspective of SES. We identified key ecological conservation areas using a Marxan model to protect the carbon storage capacity in ecological subsystems, and promoted a carbon compensation scheme based on both the grandfather principle and the carbon efficiency principle, reconciling the contradiction between ecological conservation and socio-economic development in the social subsystem. Finally, this study quantified the threshold of urbanization based on the carbon neutrality target at which CSD reaches an equilibrium state. This study proposed a SES framework, and a set of methodologies to quantify the relationship between urbanization and CSD, which will help mega-urban agglomerations to promote harmonious development of urbanization and ecological conservation and to achieve the carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets proposed by the Chinese government.

Human activities and regional land development have considerably contributed to the degradation of ecosystems and the growing contradiction between the supply and demand of ecosystem services (ESs) in Jiangsu Province, China. However, few studies have applied a comprehensive approach to elucidate the patterns and evolutionary characteristics of ESs over long periods. This study investigated the spatial–temporal evolution of the supply, demand, and supply–demand relationships of six individual ESs and comprehensive ESs in Jiangsu Province from 2000 to 2020. It revealed the key drivers of the changes in comprehensive ecosystem services supply–demand relationship (CESSD) using a geo‐detector model and a geographically and temporally weighted regression model to address the shortcomings of previous studies. The results showed that at the provincial level, the CESSD presented a surplus while the supply–demand state tended to be imbalanced. At the 1‐km2 grid scale, the spatial heterogeneity of CESSD was obvious, with surplus supply–demand zones primarily distributed in the Taihu Lake watershed, hilly areas, riverside zones, the watershed from Hongze Lake to Gaoyou Lake, and the eastern coastal zone, while deficit supply–demand zones were mainly clustered in areas with concentrated and contiguous construction land. From 2000 to 2020, the area of deficit in CESSD increased from 626 to 3257 km2 and the degree of deficit gradually deepened, with socioeconomic factors having the greatest influence on changes in CESSD. Our findings reveal the balance/imbalance between human society and natural ecology in Jiangsu Province and highlight the need for effective management of regional ecosystems.
