Abstract

Sustainable spatial planning increasingly emphasizes the protection and restoration provided by nature to human welfare, yet scientifically assessing and managing the societal utilization status of natural ecological assets (EAs) remains a challenge. This study introduces a novel classification of EAs based on the degree of dependency of human societies, and establishes an assessment framework for the spatial utilization status of EAs, incorporating indicators related to “pattern-quality-supply-demand-risk”. These indicators are integrated into the construction of ecological security patterns to optimize the management of EAs. Validated in Changxing County, Zhejiang Province, China, key findings include: (1) In 2020, the EAs of Changxing provided a value of CNY 77.936 billion, with livable climate assets dominating and carbon assets least prevalent. (2) Urban development has led to EA loss, with the most significant losses in high-supply areas and the highest loss risks in areas with scarce EAs, yet maintaining an overall balance of supply and demand. (3) In 2020, the total area of EA sources in Changxing was 487.34 km², accounting for 34% of the total land area, with 42.34% classified as high-security zones and 11.21% as high-alert zones. This study proposes an approach to ecological spatial optimization management that integrates the spatial utilization status of EAs, providing planners with practical tools and illustrative cases for seamlessly incorporating localized ecological elements into spatial planning. Our research applies to regions facing challenges related to EA loss and striving for sustainable development, offering strategies for ecological restoration, compensation, and optimization management.

将生态资产的社会利用状况纳入空间优化管理：一个综合框架

可持续空间规划越来越强调自然对人类福祉的保护和恢复，但科学评估和管理自然生态资产（EAs）的社会利用状况仍是一项挑战。本研究根据人类社会对自然生态资产的依赖程度，对自然生态资产进行了新的分类，并结合 "格局-质量-供给-需求-风险 "相关指标，建立了自然生态资产空间利用状况评估框架。这些指标被整合到生态安全格局的构建中，以优化生态保护区的管理。经浙江省长兴县验证，主要结论包括(1) 2020 年，长兴县生态保护区提供了 779.36 亿元人民币的价值，其中宜居气候资产占主导地位，碳资产最少。(2）城市发展导致生态效益资产流失，其中生态效益资产供给量大的地区流失最为严重，生态效益资产稀缺的地区流失风险最高，但总体保持供需平衡。(3）2020 年，长兴县 EA 来源总面积为 487.34 平方公里，占土地总面积的 34%，其中 42.34%属于高安全区，11.21%属于高警戒区。本研究提出了一种结合生态保护区空间利用现状的生态空间优化管理方法，为规划者提供了将本地化生态要素无缝融入空间规划的实用工具和说明案例。我们的研究适用于面临生态保护区丧失挑战并努力实现可持续发展的地区，为生态恢复、补偿和优化管理提供了策略。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research across fundamental and applied sciences, to provide ecological and evolutionary insights into our natural and anthropogenic world, and how it should best be managed. Field Chief Editor Mark A. Elgar at the University of Melbourne is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics and the public worldwide. Eminent biologist and theist Theodosius Dobzhansky’s astute observation that “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution” has arguably even broader relevance now than when it was first penned in The American Biology Teacher in 1973. One could similarly argue that not much in evolution makes sense without recourse to ecological concepts: understanding diversity — from microbial adaptations to species assemblages — requires insights from both ecological and evolutionary disciplines. Nowadays, technological developments from other fields allow us to address unprecedented ecological and evolutionary questions of astonishing detail, impressive breadth and compelling inference. The specialty sections of Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution will publish, under a single platform, contemporary, rigorous research, reviews, opinions, and commentaries that cover the spectrum of ecological and evolutionary inquiry, both fundamental and applied. Articles are peer-reviewed according to the Frontiers review guidelines, which evaluate manuscripts on objective editorial criteria. Through this unique, Frontiers platform for open-access publishing and research networking, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution aims to provide colleagues and the broader community with ecological and evolutionary insights into our natural and anthropogenic world, and how it might best be managed.
