“…The southern hilly region is the area south of the Qinling Mountains, east of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and north of the Leizhou Peninsula in China, covering seven provinces, namely, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Guizhou, with a total land area of approximately 1,276,000 km 2 (Shao et al, 2023), constituting one of the important components of China's "two screens and three belts" ecological pattern (see Figure 1). The region is interspersed with mountains, hills, and plains, with a variety of ecosystems and the largest and most well-preserved middle-subtropical forest ecosystem in the same latitude band.…”

“…The southern hilly region accounts for 13% of China's national land area and is the southern hilly and mountainous belt in the "two screens and three belts" of the national main ecological function zoning, which is an important part of the national ecological security pattern (Shao et al, 2023). In the process of urbanization in China, significant natural resource plunder and extensive ecological destruction have occurred in the pursuit of development.…”

IntroductionThis study aims to investigate the factors influencing ecosystem service trade-offs/synergies (TOSs) in major agricultural production areas in the southern hilly region and to propose optimization strategies to promote ecosystem sustainability in agricultural areas.MethodsThe study used a geographical detector to analyze the determinants influencing the ecosystem service trade-offs as well as correlation analysis, geographically weighted regression (GWR), and a geographical detector to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution of ecosystem service and TOS relationships from 2000 to 2020 in Hunan Province.ResultsThe results showed that the comprehensive value of ecosystem services in Hunan Province showed an increasing trend from 2000 to 2020. With spatial heterogeneity, the areas with high values were mainly distributed in the hilly areas in the west, south, and east of Hunan Province, and the areas with low values were mainly distributed in the Dongting Lake Plain and the Xiangzhong Hilly Basin. There was a trade-off relationship between food production (FP) and all other ecosystem services, of which FP has the strongest trade-off effect with habitat quality (HQ). The synergy effect between HQ, water yield (WY), carbon storage (CS), and soil conservation (SC) shows an increasing trend. Gross domestic product (GDP) and SLOPE are the dominant factors for the strength of trade-offs between food supply and other ecosystem services, and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) are the dominant factors for the strength of synergy effects among ecosystem services. The strength of TOS effects of ecosystem services is determined by interactions or co-influences between the two services rather than by a single component.DiscussionThe results of this study can provide a reference basis for the enhancement of ecosystem services and the sustainable planning of agricultural landscapes in the southern hilly areas.
