“…Altitude of the area is between 154 m and 2,859 m, and the climate type is subtropical monsoon. The temperatures range from 4 ℃ to 25 ℃, and annual precipitation varies between 850 mm and 1600 mm (Han et al 2020). The main land-use types in 1995 and 2015 were farmland, forestland, grassland and shrubland, and the minor land-use types included waterbodies, unused land, and built-up land (Figure 2).…”

Introduction: Sediment and nutrient retention have significant impacts on agricultural productivity and water quality. Obvious changes of climate and land-use have deeply affected freshwater ecosystem services in the last several decades. Nevertheless, it is unclear what the differences are in the impact of climate and land-use changes on freshwater ecosystem services. Outcomes: The impacts of climate and land-use change on sediment and nutrient retention (two essential freshwater ecosystem services) were evaluated with the help of the Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model. The results from the study area suggest a decreasing trend in sediment and nutrient retention from 1995 to 2015 when climate and land-use were changed simultaneously. A decreasing trend in sediment retention and an increasing trend in nutrient retention were presented under scenario A (climate change from 1995 to 2015 with land-use unchanged), while the sediment exported and nutrient retention exhibited a decreasing trend except sediment retained under scenario B (land-use change from 1995 to 2015 with unchanged climate). Rainfall erosivity and soil erodibility were more sensitive to the output of sediment retention, while retention efficiency produced more of an effect on nutrient retention. Discussion and Conclusion: Climate change played a dominant role in the change in sediment retention, while land-use change had a more significant effect on nutrient retention change than climate change. The results of this study provide explicitinformation for land-use managers to reduce the negative effects associated with sediment and nutrient retention.

“…The literature documents highly heterogeneous distribution patterns of eight ESs in the Karst ecosystem of Guizhou [42], which was formed by contrasting driving forces between urbanization and restoration [43]. Different types of ESs varied in response to the magnitude of rocky desertification, which mainly reshaped ESs in soil retention and water yield but did not cause distinct differences in C storage and crop production [44]. These regulation ESs, plus provision ESs, were formed through changes in ecological factors following the growing area of stony land conversion, but ESs in urban sprawl bundle were shaped with a higher reliability on socioeconomic factors [42].…”

This study selected 61 parks in Guizhou province as research points and collected 3282 facial expression photos of park visitors in 2021 on the Sina Weibo platform. FireFACE v1.0 software was used to analyze the facial expressions of the visitors and evaluate their emotional perception of the landscape structure and ecosystem service value (ESV) of different landscape types of blue–green spaces. Research shows that the average ESV of green spaces in parks is USD 6.452 million per year, while the average ESV of blue spaces is USD 3.4816 million per year. The ESV of the blue–green space in the park shows no geographical gradient changes, while the happiness score in facial expressions is negatively correlated with latitude. Compared to blue spaces, green spaces can better awaken positive emotions among visitors. The ESV performance of different types of green spaces is as follows: TheroponcedrymV > GrasslandV > Shrubland V. The landscape structure and ESV of the blue–green space in the park can be perceived by visitors, and GreenV and vegetation height are considered the main driving factors for awakening positive emotions among visitors. In Guizhou, when the park area decreases, people are more likely to experience sadness. Regressions indicated that by increasing the green space area of the park and strengthening the hydrological regulation function of the blue–green space, people can achieve a more peaceful mood. Overall, people perceive more positive sentiments with high ESV in blue–green spaces of Karst parks but low ESV in shrubland.

“…Karst areas are characterized by a thin soil layer, with karst erosion leading to high permeability of bedrock and limited water storage capacity [ 32 ]. Over the past century, the rapid growth of the population has led to the extensive conversion of land for agricultural purposes, causing significant land degradation and desertification [ 33 , 34 ]. To address these pressing issues, various vegetation restoration projects have been implemented in degraded karst ecosystems.…”

Bacteria, fungi, and protists occupy a pivotal position in maintaining soil ecology. Despite limited knowledge on their responses to managed vegetation restoration strategies in karst regions, we aimed to study the essential microbial communities involved in the process of vegetation restoration. We compared microbial characteristics in four land use types: planted forests (PF), forage grass (FG), a mixture of plantation forest and forage grass (FF), and cropland (CR) as a reference. Our findings revealed that the richness of bacteria and protists was higher in FF compared to PF, while fungal richness was lower in both PF and FF than in CR. Additionally, the bacterial Shannon index in FF was higher than that in CR and PF, while the fungal and protist Shannon indices were similar across all four land use types. Significant differences were observed in the compositions of bacterial, fungal, and protist communities between FF and the other three land use types, whereas bacterial, fungal, and protist communities were relatively similar in PF and FG. In FF, the relative abundance of bacterial taxa Acidobacteria, Firmicutes, and Gemmatimonadetes was significantly higher than in PF and CR. Fungal communities were dominated by Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, with the relative abundance of Ascomycota significantly higher in FF compared to other land use types. Regarding protistan taxa, the relative abundance of Chlorophyta was higher in FF compared to CR, PF, and FG, while the relative abundance of Apicomplexa was higher in CR compared to FF. Importantly, ammonium nitrogen, total phosphorus, and microbial biomass nitrogen were identified as key soil properties predicting changes in the diversity of bacteria, fungi, and protists. Our results suggest that the microbial community under FF exhibits greater sensitivity to vegetation restoration compared to PF and FG. This sensitivity may stem from differences in soil properties, the formation of biological crusts and root systems, and management activities, resulting in variations in bacterial, fungal, and protist diversity and taxa in PF. As a result, employing a combination restoration strategy involving plantation forest and forage grass proves to be an effective approach to enhance the microbial community and thereby improve ecosystem functionality in ecologically fragile areas.
