Research on Value Evaluation and Impact Mechanism of Water Ecological Services in Mountainous Cities: A Case Study of Xiangxi Prefecture

Abstract

To have a more comprehensive understanding of the water ecological services of Xiangxi, the index system of water ecological service is constructed and the intensity of its influencing factors founded on the geographic detector model (GDM) is obtained in this paper. Then, the water ecological service index of eight cities in Xiangxi to evaluate the function level is determined. It is proved that: (a) The overall service value of water cultural function as a key factor in the construction of water ecological services, soil conservation value, and water supply value are relatively poor. (b) The value of the water ecological culture function type is the largest, with an overall value of 353.32 billion yuan. The value of water resources supply is the smallest, with a value of only 4.37 billion yuan, which indicates that human activities have a strong interference with the service function of the water ecosystem. (c) Based on GDM, four factors, including precipitation, resident population, sewage discharge, and water quality compliance rate, have a significant impact on water ecological services. Among them, per capita GDP(X7) > vegetation coverage (X6) > precipitation (X2) > resident population (X4), which further clearly explains the impact intensity of mountain climate basic conditions and human socio-economic activities on water ecological services. The results can offer a practical basis for the spatial development and protection of the water ecosystem to coordinate humans and the environment.

Crossing the Barrier: Challenges and Opportunities for IoT Standardisation in the Digital Transformation of Automotive Enterprises

“…This agility is key to gaining a competitive edge in a rapidly changing market environment. Similarly, research by Zhang, et al (2023) [ 9 ] demonstrates that IoT standardization provides more effective customer insights, enabling enterprises to more accurately predict and meet consumer needs, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.…”

Comprehensive Assessment of Ecological Environment Based on Market Fuzzy Optimization Model

“…In the valuation model of ecological services, the time of using period cannot be increased indefinitely due to the constraint of cost on time. Therefore, the model will also have a certain impact on managers in terms of benefits [23] . Based on the above analysis, we can see that the ecological service valuation model has an impact on managers due to the time factor.…”

Trust evolution, institutional constraints, and land trusteeship decisions among Chinese farmers

“…For instance, Chen et al (2022) argue that risk perception significantly influences farmers' land trusteeship decisions, with natural and market risk perceptions exhibiting positive effects, while policy and contract risk perceptions have negative effects. Zhang et al (2023) contend that social capital positively impacts the participation behaviour of rural households in trusteeship services, with its effect varying among farmers of different production scales. Xiao et al (2020) find that farmers' behavioural attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control variables directly influence their willingness to participate in land trusteeship, which indirectly affects their participation behaviour.…”
