“…The biophysical parameters used in the following model development are mostly drawn from earlier studies ( 38 – 40 ). To eliminate the dimensional effects among the four indicators, the results of the ES assessment were unified and normalized, using the method of natural break point; the four ESs were divided into three grades, namely, extremely important, medium important, and unimportant, specifically, with levels 1 and 2 are low-value zones (not important), levels 3 are medium value zones (medium important), and levels 4 and 5 are high-value zones (extremely important).…”

The supply–demand for ecosystem services (ESs) is the bridge between ecological security patterns (ESPs) and human wellbeing. This study proposed a research framework of ESP of “supply–demand–corridor–node” and took Xuzhou, China, as a research case, providing a new perspective for the construction of ESPs. The framework was divided into four sections: identifying the ecological source based on the ESs supply; utilizing multi-source economic-social data to characterize the demand of ESs and constructing a resistance surface; defining the ecological corridor in the study area by employing the Linkage Mapper; and identifying crucial ecological protection/restoration areas along the ecological corridor. The results showed that the area of the supply source of ESs in Xuzhou City is 573.89 km2, accounting for 5.19% of the city's total area. The spatial distribution of 105 ecological corridors revealed that there were multiple and dense ecological corridors in the middle of the city, but few in the northwest and southeast. A total of 14 ecological protection areas were located primarily in the south of the urban area, and 10 ecological restoration areas were located primarily in the middle and north of the urban area, with a total area of 4.74 km2. The findings of this article will be useful in developing ESPs and determining important ecological protection/restoration areas in Xuzhou, China. The research framework could potentially be used in other areas.

“…Land-use changes can lead to changes in the corresponding ecological processes, thus affecting ESs [34]. Usually, an increase in PD or GDP will impose pressure on the ecosystem [36], which may reduce ecological space, threaten biodiversity, and thereby hinder the supply of ESs [37,38]. Additionally, grazing is the main disturbance to mountainous ecosystems in arid regions, while overgrazing can cause grassland degradation and adversely affect ecosystem functions [39,40].…”

“…Precipitation is also an important factor affecting SR and WY. The increase in precipitation is beneficial to improving hydrological conditions, regulating the water cycle, and improving the overall level of WY [38]. With the transformation of hydrothermal conditions, the vegetation types and growth status of terrestrial ecosystems will change correspondingly, which will affect the capacity of soil retention.…”

Mountainous ecosystems provide humans with multiple ecosystem services (ESs), but global changes and anthropogenic activities threaten the supply of such services in arid regions. To maintain regional ecological security and achieve ecosystem sustainability, it is quite essential to understand the spatiotemporal characteristics of mountainous ESs in arid regions and clarify the main driving factors of different ESs. Using the integrated valuation of ecosystem services and tradeoffs (InVEST) and revised universal soil-loss equation (RUSLE) models, we evaluated the ESs provided by the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang from 2000 to 2020. The research showed that: (i) over the 20 years in question, habitat quality and carbon storage remained relatively stable, while soil retention and water yield fluctuated significantly. (ii) All ES pairs exhibited synergies. Spatial synergy areas were concentrated in the northwestern and southwestern areas; spatial trade-off areas alternated with spatial synergy areas. (iii) Hotspots with at least two ESs covered 73% of the study region. Middle- and high-altitude areas were the main supply areas of ES. (iv) Land-use types were the dominant driving factor of habitat quality and carbon storage, while mean annual precipitation had the strongest explanatory power for water yield. Soil retention was mainly affected by mean annual temperature and the normalized difference vegetation index. Our findings could provide guidance for policymakers when developing measures for ecosystem conservation and management.
