“…Measuring ecosystem services can help in the analysis and evaluation of their economic value for human well-being [16,17]. On the basis of summarizing the United Nations SEEA, MA, Chinese Technical Guide for the Accounting of Terrestrial GEP, as well as the relevant achievements and experiences of well-known scholars [3,[18][19][20][21], we take into consideration the availability of data and propose a method for measuring GEP in Hubei Province, as shown in Formula (1) and Table 1; this can be calculated from the three perspectives of an ecosystem provisioning service, ecosystem regulating service, and ecosystem ecotourism service.…”

The question of how to balance rapid economic growth with ecosystem pressures has become a key issue in recent years. Using the Tapio decoupling model, the spatial autocorrelation model, and the LMDI decomposition model, we analyzed the spatiotemporal variation in gross ecosystem product (GEP) in Hubei Province, studied the relationship between GEP and economic growth, and analyzed the driving factors of GEP variation. The results show that, during the period 2010–2019, the decoupling coefficient between GEP and economic growth in Hubei Province gradually decreased, while the decoupling relationship changed from weak decoupling to strong decoupling; this change is reflected not only in the decoupling index values of various cities but also in the number of changing cities, so this negative change should attract the attention of policy-makers. In addition, there is a significant local spatial autocorrelation in Hubei Province, mainly distributed in the northwest and southwest of the province, and the trend is becoming increasingly obvious. As the decoupling trend is negative, it is necessary to pay attention to local autocorrelation changes, especially in highly correlated cities, and take action to prevent the further exacerbation of such decoupling to maintain healthy economic and social development. Regarding the driving factors of GEP changes in Hubei Province, cities with strong decoupling and those with weak decoupling have certain differences, and different types of decoupling cities need to adopt different strategies to alleviate pressure on the ecological environment. Cities with a weak decoupling need to address the problem of pollutant emissions associated with industrial upgrading and the positive impact of scientific and technological innovation on the ecological environment. Cities with strong decoupling should not only address pollutant discharge but also improve the area of ecological land. From the perspective of urban development, the high-quality development trend of Wuhan, Yichang, Xiantao, Qianjiang, Xianning, and other cities shows a continuous trend of improvement. Ezhou, Jingzhou, Shennongjia, and other cities need to guard against the loss of ecosystems caused by economic growth.

“…In accordance with Costanza et al [22], Xie et al [26] formulated an equivalent table of the ESV per unit area for China's terrestrial ecosystem. Subsequently, Chinese researchers have used land use data at the national [27], provincial [28], city [29], basin [30], and urban agglomeration scale [31] to determine the time scale of the ESV and land use [32], spatiotemporal distribution of the ESV [33], influence factors [34], and driving forces [35]. Several researchers have used the grey prediction (1,1) model (GM) [36], CA-Markov [37], CLUE-S [38], and FLUS [39] to study the impact on future land use change on the regional ESV and optimize the land use structure based on the ESV.…”

Land use change plays a crucial role in global environmental change. Understanding the mode and land use change procedure is conducive to improving the quality of the global eco-environment and promoting the harmonized development of human–land relationships. Large river basins play an important role in areal socioeconomic development. The Yellow River Basin (YRB) is an important ecological protective screen, economic zone, and major grain producing area in China, which faces challenges with respect to ecological degradation and water and sediment management. Simulating the alterations in ecosystem service value (ESV) owing to land use change in the YRB under multiple scenarios is of great importance to guaranteeing the ecological security of the basin and improve the regional ESV. According to the land use data of 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2018, the alterations in the land use and ESV in the YRB over the past 30 years were calculated and analyzed on the basis of six land use types: cultivated land, forestland, grassland, water area, built-up land, and unused land. The patch-generating land use simulation (PLUS) model was used to simulate the land use change in the study area under three scenarios (natural development, cultivated land protection, and ecological protection in 2026); estimate the ESV under each scenario; and conduct a comparative analysis. We found that the land use area in the YRB changed significantly during the study period. The ESV of the YRB has slowly increased by ~USD 15 billion over the past 30 years. The ESV obtained under the ecological protection scenario is the highest. The simulation of the YRB’s future land use change, and comparison and analysis of the ESV under different scenarios, provide guidance and a scientific basis for promoting ecological conservation and high-quality development of river basins worldwide.

“…The ecological compensation fund can be used by the ES providers to protect or restore the ecosystem, thus realizing ecological sustainability [8]. Even though ecological compensation could achieve a win-win situation of ecological conservation and economic development theoretically [9][10][11], there are difficulties when taking it into practice [12], such as how to clearly identify the subject and object of ecological compensation, how to unify the compensation standard, how to distribute the compensation funds, and so on [13,14].…”

“…The former takes the sacrifice of the ecosystem as the opportunity cost and compensates for the cost; the latter determines the cost or price that stakeholders are willing to pay for the ecosystem as the compensation basis. Gao et al [11] pointed out that neither the opportunity cost method nor the CVM are favorable options because scholars held different opinions on the opportunity cost, and there was the subjectivity of residents' paying willingness. Hence, they proposed that the establishment of a WEC scheme should be on the basis of ecosystem service value (ESV), and they applied the ESV method to explore the WEC scheme in Taihu Basin (Jiangsu section).…”

“…Even though existing studies have provided important preferences and regarded ESV as a useful method to determine a WEC scheme [11,28], there are still limitations as follows: (1) previous studies lack long-term observation and large spatial scale analysis on ESV to establish the WEC scheme of a special basin. Moreover, the impact of human economic activities on an ecosystem is a gradual process, and a reasonable WEC scheme could only be concluded from the long-term observations of ESV; (2) Although some WEC schemes have been put forward, little research considers how to determine the prioritization of compensation areas when there are limited compensation funds; (3) Previous studies primarily take the cross-administrative water pollution as the dislocation of spatial distribution between the supply and demand of ES and used it to study WEC, but they neglect water supply functions of watersheds, which also causes the same dislocation of spatial distribution among stakeholders during making a WEC scheme.…”

A reasonable ecological compensation scheme for watersheds is beneficial for water resource protection and ecological sustainability. The existing literature has few watershed ecological compensation (WEC) schemes based on long-term observation and large spatial scale analysis of ecosystem service value (ESV) and considering its realization in spatial planning. Therefore, in order to establish a WEC scheme and integrate it into spatial planning, we take the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project (MRSNWDP), a water resource area protecting the water resources at a huge local economic development cost, as a case study, and calculate the change trend and change range of the watershed’s total ESV from 1990 to 2015, thus, forming the WEC scheme. The results show the total ESV in the study area shows a slight downward fluctuation trend from 1990 to 2015, decreasing by 3310.70. The total ESV in most types of ecosystem service (ES) functions is relatively reduced except for the increase in functions of water conservation, waste treatment, and entertainment and culture. In addition, the change rate of total ESV has been in a high-value agglomeration, and the ES capabilities have been increasing since 2000, while the growth trend of the ES capabilities has been weak, and the high-value agglomeration has been expanding from the core area of Danjiangkou reservoir to the upstream and surrounding areas since 2005. We formulate a WEC scheme according to the partition idea of spatial planning that the priority compensation area accounts for 25.34% of the total study area, and the second priority compensation area, the general compensation area, and the potential compensation area account for 25.34%, 47.48%, and 12.80%, respectively.
