“…One of the most important parts of ES assessment is the presentation of their differentiation between types of ecosystems and in space. Local case studies clearly show that forests, even those directly adjacent to each other, differ significantly in their ability to provide services, for example, due to the diversity of habitats and management methods (Affek et al, 2020;Matuszkiewicz et al, 2021;Kruczkowska et al, 2023).…”

Polish forests differ in their potential to provide ecosystem services (ES), but it is unclear how and to what extent. We assessed the potential of 35 forest habitat types to provide 17 key ES and showed that the montane mesic broadleaved forest has a high potential to provide the largest number of key forest services (14 out of 17), which gives it the status of a multi-service hotspot. The highest overall potential was found in the forests of mountain regions, slightly lower in the postglacial northern regions, and the lowest in the central lowland regions.

“…The capacity of the three reservoirs is 13.98 billion m 3 , 1.95 billion m 3 and 1.22 billion m 3 respectively, making them the 1st, 5th and 8th largest reservoirs in Guangdong Province. The rainfall catchment areas of the three reservoirs are 5734k m 2 , 5150k m 2 and 856k m 2 respectively, with a total rainfall catchment area of 12,496km 2 , accounting for 33.22% of the total rainfall catchment area of the Dongjiang basin. The three reservoirs are located in the upper, middle and lower reaches of Dongjiang, showing a graded distribution.…”

The Dongjiang River Basin is an important water source for Guangdong Province, providing water for living, production and ecology for more than 40 million people. The three large reservoirs, Xinfengjiang Reservoir, Fengshuba Reservoir and Baipenzhu Reservoir, are the three largest reservoirs in the Dongjiang River Basin. The quality of the water environment in the three reservoirs plays an important role in ensuring the safety of drinking water and promoting the overall protection, systematic restoration and comprehensive management of the water ecosystem. 11 indicators, including water temperature, transparency, pH, DO, turbidity, conductivity, ammonia nitrogen, TN, TP, CODMn and chlorophyll a, were tested in October 2022 to study the water quality characteristics and trophic status of the three cascade reservoirs. The results of the single-factor evaluation of water quality showed that all three reservoirs reached the surface water class II level. TN is the primary pollutant in Fengshuba and Baipenzhu reservoirs. The concentration of Chla in Baekpongju Reservoir was 3.4 μg/L, with a mild risk of algal bloom. TLI (Σ) of the three cascade reservoirs were about 16.41~32.14.The results of the integrated nutrient status evaluation showed that Xinfengjiang Reservoir was in a depleted nutrient status, while Mapeshuba and Bailuanzhu Reservoirs were in a medium nutrient status. Factor analysis showed that 11 water quality factors can be classified into four categories. F1 represents the organic pollution. F2represents the phytoplankton biomass. F3 represents the concentration of nitrogen. F4 represents the suspended solids in water.
