Abstract

Escalating global human activities elicit diverse ecosystem service responses, yet understanding remains limited. This study establishes a framework to clarify these responses, focusing on the Yangtze River Economic Belt in China. Analyzing 2000–2020 data, it calculates ecosystem service economic value and human footprint index. It introduces the ecosystem services response index and comprehensive responsiveness index to assess response characteristics and intensity to anthropogenic pressures. Results show a fluctuating decline in ecosystem services and an increase in anthropogenic pressures. There is a nonlinear relationship: ecosystem services decline with rising pressures, following a U-shaped trend. Notably, nonurban agglomerations experience more significant ecosystem service evolution than urban agglomerations due to differing environmental conditions. This highlights regional disparities in human activity impacts on ecosystems, crucial for planning.

生态系统服务的动态变化以及对人为压力增加的非线性反应。

不断升级的全球人类活动引发了各种生态系统服务响应，但人们对这些响应的了解仍然有限。本研究以中国长江经济带为重点，建立了一个澄清这些反应的框架。通过分析 2000-2020 年的数据，计算了生态系统服务经济价值和人类足迹指数。它引入了生态系统服务响应指数和综合响应指数，以评估对人为压力的响应特征和强度。结果表明，生态系统服务在波动下降，而人为压力在增加。两者之间存在非线性关系：生态系统服务随着压力的增加而减少，呈 "U "型趋势。值得注意的是，与城市群相比，非城市群由于环境条件不同，生态系统服务的演变更为显著。这凸显了人类活动对生态系统影响的区域差异，对规划至关重要。
