Spatiotemporal Distribution and Driving Force Analysis of the Ecosystem Service Value: A Typical Case Study of the Coastal Zone, Eastern China

Identifying and assessing the drivers of change in ecosystem service value (ESV) is critical for integrated management human well-being coastal zone areas. This paper took a typical eastern China as research object. Based on five periods remote sensing monitoring data land use status from 2000 to 2020, ESV Yancheng was estimated by adopting equivalence factor method. Spatial statistical analysis GeoDetector were applied reveal heterogeneous features its driving mechanism. The results suggested that: (1) From 2000–2020, each type study area changed different degrees, among which most drastic construction land, increased continuously 962.69 km2, cultivated decreased 784.1 water body 163.34 km2. (2) experienced process increasing then decreasing, 547.84 × 108 yuan 570.86 decreasing 507.62 yuan, with farmland ecosystems having largest ESV, accounting more than 60%. Regulatory services core function services, (3) There significant spatial-temporal differentiation extremely low expanding rapidly developing urbanized distribution exhibited spatial autocorrelation local clustering, gravity center showing general trend north southwest. (4) temporal evolutionary characteristics result multifactorial integration use, topography, socio-economics, climate factors. explanatory power descending order LDI > DEM POP GDP RAI TEM, any two-factor interaction had higher single factor.
