“…There is no universal standard for the classification of ecological and social poverty. Based on existing research (Cao et al, 2016; Yu & Lv, 2011), we developed ecological poverty and social poverty evaluation indicator indices. Referencing existing research (Liu et al, 2015; SCLGOPAD, 2011; Zeng & Zhang, 2011), poverty evaluation rating levels were set linearly (Tables 2 and 3), and poverty deepened with the increase in poverty levels.…”

Different types of poverty traps can reinforce each other, and consequently, multiple traps pose challenges for poverty alleviation, especially in rural areas. There remains a lack of understanding of social and ecological poverty traps and their relationship with one another. We considered the Selinco area in the Tibetan highlands of China and investigated social and ecological poverty, for an understanding of the poverty trap through the land-human relationship lens. We found that ecological and social poverty differ between various townships due to their poor ecological and social environs. We affirmed reinforcing feedback between ecological and social poverty, and that the relative importance of social and ecological poverty differs at various thresholds. These results advance our understanding of different poverty traps and their feedback process. The findings inform the policy-making process when addressing the land-human relationship to improve ecosystem stability and promote social equity to foster sustainable development.

“…As an important ecological barrier, Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is vulnerable to global climate changes due to its high elevation, intense radiation, and simple ecosystem structure (Sun et al, 2012; Yu & Lv, 2011). During past decades, global warming and large‐scale human activities have had a major impact on the ecosystems of the QTP (Chen et al, 2015; Dong et al, 2012).…”

Ecological security is a vital component of regional security and significantly influences regional sustainable development. The assessment of ecological security is the cornerstone of relative research to coordinate ecological protection and economic developments. However, a framework that enables systematic assessment of the ecological security still needs further exploration. A framework that includes ecosystem organization (O), quality (Q), and services (S) was proposed to evaluate the ecological security in southeast Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) in this study. Results showed that: (1) From 2000 to 2020, ecosystem organization in the study area showed an improving trend, with 61.33% of counties experiencing an increase in O value; (2) The ecosystem quality showed an increasing trend, with the proportion of increased areas amounting to 54.46%, and the significantly increased area occupied 3.38% of the study area; (3) The total trend of ecosystem services decreased, among them, habitat provision and soil conservation both presented an increasing trend, while water yield performed a decreased trend; (4) The ecological security in the southeast of QTP has been improved, which increased in north of the study area and decreased in south part. Overall, our study provided a novel view to characterize the physical status of the natural environment and enriched the methodology of ecological security assessment. More attention should be received by the different roles of ecosystem organization, quality, and services in ecological security in future studies, which is helpful to reflect the current situation and changing trends of regional ecological security more reasonably and comprehensively.
