“…In addition, a high urbanization rate (nearly 50%) and a high population density (more than 320 persons/km 2 ) in the oversupply cities may be important factors impacting the balance between ES supply and demand. Some recent studies support our findings (Sahle et al 2018;Chen et al 2019;Dang et al 2020;Pan et al 2020;Wang et al 2022), reporting that rapid urbanization with a gradual increase in population has Authors' contributions All authors contributed to the study conception and design.

A comprehensive understanding of how socioecological factors can influence multiple ecosystem services (ES) may provide stakeholders with a management tool to coordinate economic development and environmental protection. However, previous studies have focused more on the supply side than on the demand of ESs. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms for the changes in the supply-demand balance of ESs and their multiple drivers remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, an integrated theoretical framework was developed to assess the interactions of socioecological factors, including land use and cover, social economy, climate, and topography, on the variation in the ES supply, demand, and balance, which were mapped at the city scale in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB). A variance inflation factor (VIF) was employed to detect the multicollinearity of the factors, and the sum of Akaike weights were used to simplify driving factors and identify essential driving factors. We employed variation partitioning analysis (VPA) to reveal the effects of unique and combined drivers on the ES supply, demand and balance. The results showed that undersupply cities (11.93% of the area) were concentrated within the three national urban agglomerations and increased in area from upstream to downstream, whereas oversupply cities (88.07%) were mainly distributed in the surroundings of the urban agglomerations. According to the VPA, the essential driving factors could effectively explain the variation in the ES supply, demand, and balance in the YREB. More importantly, these driving factors were simplified with no significant decrease in explanatory power. In the oversupply cities, the ES changes were determined by socioeconomic factors (urbanization rate and population density), land use/land cover (cropland, woodland, and unused land), and their interactions. In the undersupply cities, population density (PD) could explain the majority of the variation in ESs. However, the effects of climate and topography on ESs were more prominent at the scale of all cities in the YREB. Besides, PD displayed a significant negative correlation with ES supply and balance, whereas it was positively related to ES demand in the undersupply cities. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the interactions of socioecological factors on the supply-demand balance of ESs. This study is informative for human well-being and sustainable socio-economic development of the region.

The study of man-land relationship in urbanization process is the current frontier and focus of international research. How to balance urban development and ecosystem conservation in the Upper Yellow River is a key issue for sustainable development in China. In this study, we evaluated the Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration （LXUA）by constructing a multi-dimensional assessment system for urbanization quality and ecosystem services. The efficacy function model, entropy weight method, and Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model were used to quantitatively assess the subsystems' state of development. Then, the coupling model (CD) and the coordination degree（CCD）model were used to explore the coupling coordination relationship and spatial-temporal change characteristics of the composite system. The findings indicate that: 1）In 2020, the quality of urbanization in LXUA showed the pattern of "double core". The development of urban centers in each city is insufficient, and the proportion of counties with low-level is too high. 2）Integrated ecosystem services showed an increasing distribution pattern from the northeast to the southwest. Water provision services, soil conservation services and carbon fixation services all showed growth trends. 3）Each county’s composite system was in the run-in stage or highly coupled stage. The subsystems were closely related to each other. 4）The CCD was decreased by 6% between two decades. The number of counties on the verge of disorder was the highest. About 80% of the counties are relatively lagging behind in ecosystem services.
