“…Currently, the implementation of ecological restoration measures in NRs faces a series of complex problems [53]. It is necessary to assess the impacts of the implementation of policy measures on human well-being from the perspective of ESs, as well as the trade-offs relationship response of ESs [54]. Our analysis indicates that a significant portion of farmland and villages is undergoing transformation into ecological areas, including forests, lakes, and wetlands.…”

The transformative period of reshaping China's Protected Area System (CPAs) requires nature reserves (NRs) to pay greater attention to policy-driven changes in land use as well as ecosystem. We take Anhui Shengjin Lake National Nature Reserve (SJLNNR) as a case study to examine policy-driven changes in ecosystem services and their trade-offs. We find that (1) policy implementation significantly increased the area of wetlands and forests while decreasing the area of cropland and impervious land. Ideally, the area of wetlands and forests could be increased by ~10200 hm 2 . (2) Habitat quality (HQ) and water conservation (WC) are enhanced, with the highest enhancement of 13.09% and 28.18%, respectively. Carbon storage (CS) and food production (FP) showed opposite trends across scenarios.(3) CS demonstrates trade-offs with other ESs, while the remaining ESs displayed varying degrees of synergistic relationships. Nonetheless, it should be noted that transforming extensive farmland and impervious land into diverse land-use types might not improve the synergies relationship of ESs. Additionally, the full protection scenario (FPS) demonstrated greater advantages in terms of HQ, WC, and CS.

“…Furthermore, although humans may only be willing to consider use values (of utilizing something) of realized ESs (Hao et al, 2022), ESs are not solely restricted to use values. Instead, stronger recognition of non-use values (attributed to existence of something, bequest, or altruistic purposes) and option values (of maintaining something for future use and potential benefits) of ESs is needed to (1) shape a more comprehensive view of the contributions nature make to human wellbeing, (2) promote conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity for future use, (3) diversify views on human-nature relationships and interdependence, (4) recognize nature's cultural/spiritual importance that may not be appropriately described as use values, and (5) measure ecosystem conditions and capacities for underpinning sustainable development (IPBES, 2019;CBD, 2020a;Schröter et al, 2021;United Nations SEEA-EA, 2021;Chen et al, 2022a;IPBES, 2022). Therefore, ESs include potential ESs.…”

“…These include the Three-North Shelter Forest Program (TNSFP), the Natural Forest Protection Program (NFCP), and the Sloping Land Program (SLP). NFCP), the Sloping Land (NFCP), the Sloping Land Conversion Program (GGP), and the Shan-Shui Initiative, among others, have achieved positive progress and signi cant results (Chen et al 2022). However, due to the complex causes, deep roots, and wide scope of ecological problems in China, the results of ecological protection and restoration achieved in recent years are still unsolid, and the situation of poor stability and low quality of ecosystems has not been fundamentally improved (Wu and Cai 2009).…”

Since the theory of sustainable development was proposed, large-scale ecological restoration projects have improved the quality and flow of ecosystem services. The primary issue that needs to be addressed in the next phase of ecological restoration decisions is how to further improve the conservation efficiency of ecological restoration projects. Evaluating the value of ecosystem services helps recognize the links between regions and assess the effectiveness of ecological restoration. By describing the general condition of ecosystem operation, we can strengthen the argumentation and planning of ecological restoration measures. Watershed-scale ecological restoration project is an essential part of spatial ecological restoration in China. However, the valuation of ecosystem services at the watershed scale has rarely been studied compared to the restoration scale. This paper selects the Ling River Basin, a key implementation area for ecological restoration projects in Chinese watersheds, as the study area. The important ecological restoration projects during the 40 years from 1980 to 2020 are reviewed. Landsat TM/ETM remote sensing images were used as the primary data source and generated by manual visual interpretation. The value of 11 ecosystem service functions was calculated using the unit area equivalent factor method, and the impact of watershed ecological restoration on ecosystem services was analyzed. The results show that: (1) The value of ecosystem services in the Ling River Basin showed a trend of "first decreasing then increasing" from 1980 to 2020; (2) the value of ecosystem services in the Ling River Basin increased by 9.74 billion yuan in 40 years; (3) Grassland area decreased the most from 1980 to 2020, by 3550.53 km2 (-55%), mainly concentrated in 2005-2010, with a decrease of 3527.24 km2 (-54.8%) in 5 years; arable land area decreased the second most, compared with the largest arable land area in 1990 decreased by 525.95 km2 (-5%); (4) The ecological restoration project in the Ling River basin has the greatest impact on the regulating services, with a change of 36.9%, mainly affecting the hydrological regulating function. This is followed by cultural services, with a change of 35.1%, mainly due to the increase in cultural values brought about by the increase in watershed and woodland areas. The impact on support services is relatively small, with a change of 25.7%. The lowest impact on supply services, with a change of 11.8%, mainly affects water supply capacity; (5) Food production value showed an opposite trend to the other ten ESV changes; (6) Hydrological regulation, climate regulation, and soil conservation are important ecosystem service functions in the Ling River basin, contributing more than 65% of the annual ecosystem service value; (7) Ecological restoration measures in the Ling River basin have a positive impact on ecosystem service value.
