Abstract
The study of trade-off and synergy relationships (TOS) among ecosystem services (ESs) and the scale effects of their driving mechanisms is an important breakthrough for the integrated promotion of synergistic ecosystem-environmental governance and regional sustainable development. In this paper, we used the InVEST model to quantitatively assess the four types of service functions and spatial patterns of water supply, soil conservation, habitat quality, and carbon storage in the Manas River Basin in 2022, explored the spatial differentiation patterns of TOS at different scales by spatial superposition method, and mined the mechanisms of the natural background and socioeconomics of the TOS at different scales using the random forest model. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) All four typical ESs in the Manas River Basin showed significant spatial heterogeneity. (2) There is a scale effect in the spatial evolution pattern of TOS, and 1 km × 1 km, 10 km × 10 km, and sub-watershed scales are the “inflection points” of TOS changes. (3) The response of TOS to natural and social factors varies at different scales. (4) The correlation between TOS and the driving factors is nonlinear, and the difference in the response of TOS to the influencing factors is more obvious at the sub-watershed scale than among the raster scales.
期刊介绍:
The ultimate aim of Ecological Indicators is to integrate the monitoring and assessment of ecological and environmental indicators with management practices. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the applied scientific development and review of traditional indicator approaches as well as for theoretical, modelling and quantitative applications such as index development. Research into the following areas will be published.
• All aspects of ecological and environmental indicators and indices.
• New indicators, and new approaches and methods for indicator development, testing and use.
• Development and modelling of indices, e.g. application of indicator suites across multiple scales and resources.
• Analysis and research of resource, system- and scale-specific indicators.
• Methods for integration of social and other valuation metrics for the production of scientifically rigorous and politically-relevant assessments using indicator-based monitoring and assessment programs.
• How research indicators can be transformed into direct application for management purposes.
• Broader assessment objectives and methods, e.g. biodiversity, biological integrity, and sustainability, through the use of indicators.
• Resource-specific indicators such as landscape, agroecosystems, forests, wetlands, etc.
